[Histonet] Cutting paraffin sections in a warm room

Adam,

You may very well be dealing with static electricity from the drier air
produced when the heat gets turned on.  Go to the Archives for helpful
hints on dealing with this issue.

Subject: [Histonet] Cutting paraffin sections in a warm room


Hi all,

I've just recently started cutting paraffin sections (of bones). A few
weeks ago, the facilities people decided that it was fall and now the
lab is significantly warmer than it used to be, and my paraffin is
falling apart and sticking to everything. Apparently, we can't control
the temperature through a thermostat at all, and the microtome is inside
the lab. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to section in a
warm room.

Thanks,
Adam
