Hello,
It is very inexpensive, a few dollars, to buy a counter-top ice crusher, that a professional bartender might use to crush ice for drinks. Can be bought at most any store. We crush ice every day on a daily basis to create a small tub of ice we need for reagents. Only the size of like a small kitchen food processor. Just add ice cubes and crush them in a few seconds without a hammer and the mess.

Hi gudrun, Place the ice - ice cubes works best in a plastic bag, wrap in a towel and bash with a heavy object like a hammer. You can also use Jamie Oliver's trick - put ice cubes in a cloth tea towel, , bring the 4 corners together, tie them in knot, and then hit the "parcel" on the edge of your work surface until the ice is the sze you need.... hope this helps On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Gudrun Lang <gu.l...@gmx.at> wrote: > Hi! > > I think this is a rather basic question ;-), but I'm looking for practical > advice. > > We are going to try the OSNA-test for sentinel nodes.
