[Histonet] Roll plate, Freeze spray in the Cryostat

[Terri Braud]

Just a word of caution that unless you are quite sure of the cleanliness of your cryostat, or the infectious status of the specimens cut in your cryostat, freezing spray is the worst product to use in a cryostat.  It creates aerosolized particles that can linger, and infect, for hours.
At our lab, we long ago decided to forbid the use, and we have no problems cutting beautiful frozen sections without it.
