[Histonet] External UV for a Leica 1850?

[Traczyk7 <@t> aol.com]

Paula,
A UV insert in available from Hacker Instruments. (1-800-4-HACKER) It was  
not designed specifically for an 1850, but I don't see why it would not work 
out  for you. Give Jim Mullen a call, he should be able to give you the 
device  dimensions and power specifications.
Have a great day.

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
