[Histonet] External UV for a Leica 1850?

[Paula Sicurello]

Hello Fellow Netters,

Has anyone tried using some type of external UV source to decontaminate a
Leica 1850 cryostat?  I found out that it is not possible to retro fit the
1850 for UV.  I would like to be able to avoid having to defrost, breakdown
and bleach the cryostat everytime a suspected infectious tissue is cut in
it.

Suggestions kindly welcomed.

Thanks!

Paula
