[Histonet] metal molds vs. disposable molds

[Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/CCID/NCZVED)]

I agree.  I also find you get a more level plane which makes trimming easier.  We use both in our group and the individuals that use the disposable tend to use them multiple times before tossing them. 

I have not had to clean the metal ones I use in years but have heard you can toss them in the clean cycle of your tissue processor.

Metals molds are easier to work with and almost indestructible, but if you have money to throw to the air and patient and time in large supply, use plastic.

Hello everyone,

We have a debate going on about purchasing metal molds vs. disposable plastic molds. Which is better? Is the cost better in the long run to buy metal? Also, how does everyone clean their metal molds?

Thanks
