[Histonet] Can you top this?

[Margaret Horne]

  I keep my diluted antibodies in shell vials but needed a way to 
keep them organised, so :

I got a Ferrraro Roche container from a friend ( clear plastic , 
rectangular) and the cardboard divider from a - 80 freezer box. Cut 
the divider to fit and organised the vials in their serial dilutions.  Fits 
beautifully in the door of the fridge.  A second similar container 
holds my small bottles of streptavidin and my Biotinylated 
secondary, etc. My friend thinks I should get another box of those 
chocolates and charge it to my boss. I haven't had the nerve.

My incubation chambers for IHC are rubbermaid containers.

For TEM IHC I got two ceramic escargo dishes, each has 6 wells, 
for $2 in a grocery store sale bin. I was tickled as the ones from an 
EM catalogue are about $15 each.

But my favourite is the wooden stir stick with a eyelash attached to 
the end by a dab of nail polish that I use with my $3000 diamond 
knife to do TEM work.  The incongruity always makes me chuckle.

	I like this thread.  It's more than a good chuckle. It's an 
exchange of neat ideas.
