Liz, we bought anti-static mats that are grounded and placed underneath the microtomes. This helped a lot, although we do have an anti-static brush and spray that we use in extreme circumstances when the air handlers go down.
I don't have the information to hand just now, but if you are ineterested I can get it to you on Monday Ronnie Houston, MS HT(ASCP)QIHC Anatomic Pathology Manager Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus OH 43205 (614) 722 5450 -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Kim Donadio Sent: Friday, February 10, 2012 3:15 PM To: Elizabeth Chlipala Cc: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Re: [Histonet] anti static spray? I have this problem a lot. I have static so bad literally blue sparks fly from my finger tips. I'm scared I'm going to blow up something one day and I walk around terrified to open doors. Anyway, in order to remedy my problem during sectioning I use a lot of hand lotion and get some bounce dryer sheets and run over my cloths and hair This usually works.
