[Histonet] Re: Teabags

[Bob Richmond]

I've certainly used real tea bags - we got them from the Salada tea
people - they're made of a paper made of abaca fiber, a very
long-staple fiber. I still see many labs using that old standard, lens
paper.

About ten years ago I saw a lot of tissue bags, maybe made of nylon,
available from whatever Shandon is called this week. I think embedders
like them. You want the small size. A major disadvantage is that
they're quite expensive.
