[Histonet] microtome laceration not an exposure

2014-08-25 Thread Bitting, Angela K.


Does anyone have something that I can show to nursing to explain why a 
microtome laceration is not an exposure? I can't get the fixed tissue 
explanation to sink in. Anyone else had issues with this?

[Histonet] slide filing cabinets

2014-08-25 Thread Kolman, Kimberly D.
Dear Histo-netters:

 

I'm looking to re-arrange my paraffin block storage; currently the
plastic block cabinets are on a shelving unit.  

 

Does anyone have any experience with how well the old Tissue Tek plastic
6-drawer block cabinets stack - on top of each other?  Can I safely do a
stack of 5?  And will they hold up well?

 

Thanks in advance.

Kim

We have no problems stacking the block cabinets from Tissue-Tek.  5 high will 
not be a problem.

I have been stacking the TT II plastic block file cabinets 5 high for years and
