[Histonet] Histobath part 2

[Lynette Pavelich]

Matt,
I have a copy of the instructional/operational manual from my histobath
that we purchased in 1994 from Shandon-Lipshaw.  The specifications for
its lowest temperature is -60C.  The liquid that is used is
2-methylbutane (isopentane).  

I can fax you a copy if it would help.

I forgot to mention, this Histobath I am talking about is the one with
a 
refrigerated tank. You fill the tank with a liquid (I forget what the 
chemical is) and use it to quick-freeze tissue to be cut in a
cryostat.

Peace
Matt
