[Histonet] Microtome draft shield

[Joseph Saby]

I would suggest that you look inthe local yellow pages for people who work with plexiglass.  This is a re;atively inexpensive medium.  You can design what you need and have your draft shields built to order.

Haven't seen anything that specific, but you might want to look at the various biohazard splash guards. They are a clear Plexiglas, and they have a base to support them. You would be able to move them around (or have them mounted to the counter if desired), and they come in an assortment of angles and sizes.

Subject: [Histonet] Microtome draft shield

Hi Everyone,

I work in a lab which is under negative pressure (air is continuously flowing in), and due to the layout of the rooms are microtomes are located next to two different doorways.  We are looking for some sort of draft shield to place around each microtome and water bath that will reduce the effects of the airflow and personnel movements on our ribbons.

Anyone have any suggestions as to who might sell such a thing?

Thanks in advance!
