[Histonet] Flooring

[Normington, Lacy]

What does your institution do to mitigate paraffin collection on the floors? Do you strip the floors at defined periods of time? Do you use mats throughout entire laboratory, under microtomy stations? Currently our institution uses a sticky plastic green flooring, which is ripped up every quarter and replaced. However, during this time there are many spots which the plastic breaks down due to consistent activity over a spot. This requires the flooring to be scraped, stripped, etc.
