RE: SPAM-LOW: Re: [Histonet] Chilling Tray for Blocks
Yep that is what I do, I use the plastic containers I get salad or other stuff in I would throw away, fill it and freeze it, I add some water to it and put the blocks on the frozen tray and they get cold and hydrated at the same time.

RE: [Histonet] Chilling Tray for Blocks
We use HistoCool trays, two sizes available, two trays for each microtome. One is always in the freezer. They work great at the microtomy bench, stay cold for long periods of time, have a styrofoam tray they sit in and have a lid.
