[Histonet] RE: rolling sections

We do the same thing on our lab.   It isn't necessary for them to roll....we just catch them and fold them up and  put them in the tube.

Hi, I think that it is not necessary to actually get them to roll. We just collect all of the sections and put them into the tube. Scrunched, not rolled.

I have some researchers that want to do PCR.  They want 10 - 10u sections in a micro-centrifuge tube.  The only way to get the sections in the tube is for the sections to roll.  How do you get sections to roll when you want them to roll?  I've tried room temperature, on ice, brand new sharp blade, dull blade and I can still get some really nice ribbons.  When I want a thick ribbon it will roll, darn that Murphy and his laws.
