[Histonet] CJD procedures
We are looking to revamp our procedure for CJD and I would like to see if there are different protocols out there. At this point we are handling the whole process by hand, including melting the paraffin in a melting pot. Do we need a separate oven for melting the paraffin and heating the slides?

RE: [Histonet] CJD procedures
The American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) and its Biosafety Mailing List are two excellent resources for obtaining information on handling CJD materials. American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) http://www.absa.org ABSA - Resources and Tools - E-Mail Groups http://www.absa.org/restool.html http://www.absa.org/resgroups.html ABSA is also useful for any other question about biological safety. Its members have practical knowledge of laboratory operations. :o) Michael P.
