[Histonet] RE: Blade Dispenser Thingy

[Maria Katleba]

I use one drop of microtome oil and they slip right out.  I mean don't go crazy with the oil either!

I keep the dispenser in a small plastic bag that seals along with the desiccant packages they put in the original box with the blades, (and any other desiccant packages I can find - from coverslips, inks etc.)  As long as you keep the blades sealed with the desiccant, you shouldn't have anymore problems.  This works really well in the cryostat chamber, too!

I have Feather dispensers with blades that I have to pry out, which is
probably not a good thing.  I've tried freezing the dispenser, putting
it in an oven for a while and whacking the darned thing on the floor
(not necessarily all at the same time..).  Have we had this discussion
before and have we solved this problem?  Help?
