[Histonet] : Are gloves required when cutting FFPE blocks?

[White, Lisa M.]

I am not aware of any regulation to use gloves to section.

 

However I do use them to section on the microtome, I got really tired of
picking human out from under my fingernails.  

The other 4 HT that I work with do not use them on standard microtome
sections.

 

CJD would be the only exception, but then again the all of the
processing equipment would then be a problem also.
