[Histonet] Lab Coats and OCT

[Rathborne, Toni]

Heather,

We are currently using a lab coat made by White Knight, which is fluid resistant. I don't know if it's any cooler, but they do protect what you're wearing under it.

Regarding the OCT. We also get our from Sakura, and have not noticed any change to the consistency. Is this happening with all lot numbers, or only one? I would check with Sakura. There may be a recall that you're not aware of. It might also have something to do with temperature/storage conditions.

Hello All,





Now that the hospital is enforcing us to wear lab coats all the time, wondering if anyone has suggestions for some that aren't too hot, the ones we have now are making us sweat!



Also, we have been having issues with our OCT, we currently use the Sakura OCT and have use it for years. Within the last 6 months or so it has become like glue on the chucks even if we let it soak in hot water and scrub with a brush, it just doesn't want to come out! If anyone has any suggestions on brands to  try we would appreciate it!

Thanks!
