[Histonet] flitering methods

[Cheri Miller]

We filter ours thru a wet blue sponge, place another sponge on top and
process as usual. After processing we place the sponges in paraffin and
place on the cold plate for a few seconds(using a tamper), pull the sponge
off slowly and melt the contents again (pulling out what is trapped in the
sponge). This process will capture any tissue present.

Hello Histonetters,

     I was wondering what everyone was using for filtering and processing
ECC's, EMC's and the like.  We have always used lens papers cut to an
appropriate size.  We are now having difficulty getting them to even filter,
the liquid and tissue just sit on the paper and the liquid does not drain
away.  I am wondering if this is a new and improved lens paper and that is
why it is not working now.
    Any suggestioons you are willing to share would be appreciated.
