[Histonet] RE: Stupid, stupid static!!
Dryer sheets... And can you ground the microtome? Wire from metal to metal like a gas line or faucet, etc? Sorry for your frustration!!

Use fabric softener sheets. You can wipe the blades and knife holders with them. My daughter's American Girl magazine says to pour lotion in your hand, rub it between your hands and while it is still shiny run your hands through your hair to control static.

If you use lotion in the lab, won't it get on your slides and cause havoc (big oil droplets)?

You will want to wash your hands after you do that but it really does cut the static. I also keep a spray bottle of DI water next to the microtome.
