Re: [Histonet] floor vibration
We have issues as HVAC is above us! Sometimes at the switch over from heat to air and vice versa the facilities personnel don't check the drains and we get a flood. Came in one morning to hear dripping and we were going to a self -eval that day.! Most of the water was in my garbage can (Thankfully) Just missed my PC and the TMA arrayer. Got part of the embedding unit (it was a big leak). Facilities had the wet/dry vac up in the ceiling to get rid of the water. Had to have a good chunk of ceiling replaced and repaired after that one. There was even water in the light fixtures! Bernice Bernice Frederick HTL (ASCP) Senior Research Tech Pathology Core Facility Robert. H.

Re: [Histonet] floor vibration
Wouldn't the anti-vibration measures work better if placed under the laundry equipment? They sell super expensive air bearing tables for EM applications, but I doubt routine histology would merit such expense. Good luck, try to enjoy the good vibrations.

Re: [Histonet] floor vibration
Refuse the space and ask to be moved somewhere else. Years ago our EM scopes were on the fourth floor and lines in photos taken could be seen from the vibration from people simply walking down the halls. Finally moved the scopes to the basement on a section of concrete cut out completely separate from the rest of the building.
