[Histonet] blades

[Jennifer MacDonald]

I will save a blade in a plastic 5-slide mailer.  I usually use it for 
trimming so that I don't waste a new blade.  I label the container with 
"sharps" info.

[Histonet] blades






Kind of a "Friday" type of question inasmuch as it could open some
"cutting" remarks.......how do others handle microtome blades that are
not totally used?  Our situation is that we use the more expensive
"teflon coated" blades for certain tissues that are more delicate or
difficult to obtain the most optimal sections and use the ceramic coated
blades for routine microtomy. Obviously, the techs are oftentimes going
to have a blade with an area that is still very usable and the dilemma
is a safety issue as to where to place/store blades that are not ready
to discard!  Any good ideas???  Appreciate any "kind" ideas!!
Thanks.....
