Histotechs:

The molds that work very well with muscle and nerve and just about everything else are from TISSUE TEC.  They are called CRYOMOLDS.  The standard size is 25mm by 20mm  by 5mm.  The intermediate size is 15mm by 15mm by 5mm. They are thin walled plastic boats that work just great with OCT and they can be reused if handled carefully.

 

For the control of STATIC CHARGES ON TISSUES ---- The STATICMASTER  IONIZING UNIT MODEL NO. 2U5OO

The address of the supplier:  2937 ALT BLVD. GRAND ISLAND N.Y. 14072. I used them for 40 years. They have a flexible shaft holder for the unit that makes it easy to direct the deionization. You can order two If you are really bothered by static cling---like in a very dry climate---order two of the 2U500’s and tape them together on the stand.  There is a 1000 unit, but that takes a radioactive substance permit. I used 2 units taped together in rainy Oregon, and I think all of you would prefer the double set up. The emitters are polonium and emit particles that do not pierce the skin, They warn you not to eat the strips under the grid. I don’t see how you COULD eat what’s under the grid. Sometimes I wish someone would do it, so I could find out how the heck he did it.
