You will want to wash your hands after you do that but it really does cut the static. I also keep a spray bottle of DI water next to the microtome.

If you use lotion in the lab, won't it get on your slides and cause havoc
(big oil droplets)?

Use fabric softener sheets. You can wipe the blades and knife holders with
them. My daughter's American Girl magazine says to pour lotion in your hand,
rub it between your hands and while it is still shiny run your hands through
your hair to control static.

So where the microtome is here that I have to use we have to wear those
blue hospital booties and disposable lab coats (the white paper type
ones).  With me and several other people walking around in those booties
the amount of static electricity is to say the least frusterating!!
Does anyone know of anything I can do to get rid of the static?

Thanks
