We processed a cell block last week and we are now just being notified that
it MAY be a CJD case. Leica tells me there isn't a way to decontaminate my
tissue processor. Has anyone else been thru this, and isn't there anything to
do besides buy a new Tissue Processor?
Lori,
You need to contact the National Prion Disease Center at
http://www.cjdsurveillance.com/
They will tell you if there is a way to decontaminate anything that may
have come in contact with the suspected CJD case.
