[Histonet] Cross Contamination procedure flotation baths

[Rene J Buesa]

Are you referring to how to prevent cross contamination? 
If that is the case, usually sectioning histotechs "wipe" clean the surface of the water in the flotation bath with a kin-wipe after each block has been cut and the slide taken. 
By doing so any section floating will be removed before the next block is sectioned.
After sectioning is finished, the flotation bath is emptied and dry cleaned.

Hello to all in histoland.  Does anyone have a cross contamination procedure for the water bath that they would be willing to share.  Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
