[Histonet] RE: Frozen section PPE

[Terri Braud]

Our 2 cents. For performing frozen sections, we require gown and gloves.
If there is a possibility of a infectious granuloma then we add goggles
and a mask.  Also, we never allow spray coolant in the cryostat as it
has the probability of aerosolizing any nasty bugs lurking in the
cryochamber.

Hi Everyone,
We were wondering what people are wearing while doing frozen sections?
Mask, goggles, lab coat? We'd like to know what everyone else is doing
to protect themselves.
Thank you,
