Hi,
I have a question regarding the use of UCSF Collodion Bag Cell blocks.
once you do the bag, you pour in the cells in, let´s say 10ml of
formalin. Then, how do you proceed? Do you spin down the cells with
the bag inside a plastic tube? do you take then put the formalin and
cut the top of the bag into a cassette? do you close the bag with a
thread with the cells and formalin?....
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks a lot

What method are you using? Making your own coated tubes, UCSF or MD
Anderson. Are you purchasing coated tubes? Once the tube is coated,
dried (using hood) and filled w dH2O, there should be no odor.
Always work w/ collodion under the hood. Ethyl ether is main
component. Once in cassette and processed, there should not be odor.

Subject: [Histonet] Collodian bag for cell blocks
Hi All
Was wondering if anyone is using the Collodian bag for cell blocks.
We just got it and have been using it 'works great' but all the
techs are complaining of the smell.. Our ventilation has been looked
at and has passed however the smell still lingers in the room. Any
suggestions??
Thanks
