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.

We have a humidifier going most of the time.  This seems to alleviate the
static problems commonly experienced during the dry winter months.

We also have problems with static in our student lab.  We soak paper towels
with water and keep them in the waste tray.  Each time the student skims the
water bath with a Kim wipe they also add that wet towel to the waste tray.
The moisture really helps.

[Histonet] anti static spray?






Happy Friday Everyone

I need to purchase a product called static guard or static x  to help with
static when sectioning.  Can I just purchase this from a regular store or a
histology vendor?  Actually if anyone has any advice or suggestions on how
to deal with static when sectioning that would be great.

Thanks so much in advance

[Histonet] RE: Hemisecting a fresh-frozen brain

[Hilary Smith]

Thanks Brett - I was hoping that someone out there had done this.  If I screw 
up the cerebellum and brainstem it is no big deal as we are only looking at 
forebrain structures. This is very encouraging!

Thanks again,

Hilary,

I have done this before.

Definitely warm to -20C (overnight) otherwise it will likely fracture. A 
non-serrated brain slicing autopsy knife works well...it is best to use a knife 
that has a big blade and a sturdy handle. You will need a little bit of 
downward pressure on the knife and a slow, short sawing motion to work your way 
through. Cutting through the cerebral midline won't be much of a problem, be 
careful with the cerebellum and brainstem. Too much pressure and cutting too 
fast is bad.

Good luck,

Hi everyone

I need to sagitally hemisect a fresh-frozen rhesus brain that has been stored 
at -80°C .  Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about this?  I 
imagine warming it to about -20°C to reduce brittleness might be a good idea 
but I am not sure what my weapon of choice should be.  Can't use anything that 
will generate heat of course.  Will a non-serrated blade such as a tissue 
slicer blade do the trick at -20°C?  Or do I need to go to something like an 
ultrafine wire saw?  Or ultrafine hacksaw perhaps?  I welcome even the most 
outlandish suggestions!

Thanks,

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

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.

[Histonet] Hemisecting a fresh-frozen brain

[Hilary Smith]

Hi everyone

I need to sagitally hemisect a fresh-frozen rhesus brain that has been stored 
at -80°C .  Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about this?  I 
imagine warming it to about -20°C to reduce brittleness might be a good idea 
but I am not sure what my weapon of choice should be.  Can't use anything that 
will generate heat of course.  Will a non-serrated blade such as a tissue 
slicer blade do the trick at -20°C?  Or do I need to go to something like an 
ultrafine wire saw?  Or ultrafine hacksaw perhaps?  I welcome even the most 
outlandish suggestions!

Thanks,

Hilary

[Histonet] RE: anti static spray?

[Rathborne, Toni]

I remember buying this product years ago, before dryer sheets were invented. At 
the time, you could buy it in any grocery store or WalMart. 
What I would suggest is for you to check your humidity in the room. Quite often 
static is caused by low humidity levels. If possible, use a humidifier, or 
steamer if you have one. This should add more humidity to the room and help 
alleviate the problem.

Probably the histology vendor is selling you the same brand product you can buy 
in a store, but with a different "proprietary" label.

All I recall about controls in HC procedures (any of them) is to have a (+) 
control. The only one that requires both (-) and (+) is PAS

Is anyone using a negative control for AFB stains?  If so is there a regulation 
that states negative controls should be run for AFB stains.  I seem to recall 
seeing such a regulation but cannot find it.

Thanks for your help!
