wearing gloves we could prevent epithelial contamination of cytology slides but
I would like to know which microorganism could

other than collagen. However, I have recently found

Hello,
A question for Dako's Artisan Stainer users as to what you are doing with the
Waste disposal and in particular the Trace Metals waste. Are you neutralizing
it and if so, could you provide proportions of waste to 0.85% NaCl?

Greetings to all,
so far we handled wet-fixed cytology slides as health risk free without gloves,
however there is no data regarding this on the net (or at least I wasn't able
to find it). I would appreciate response on safety policy in other cytology

Just got to thinking...I do animal tissue processing. I do use an
automated processor, but it is open with no pressure or vacuum. If you
think this will help I can give you the times I use. It is an overnight
process and takes more than a work day worth of hours. Let me know?
