Every tech in my facility uses something different. Some use fingers, some use forceps (usually curved), one uses a teasing needle and one uses a paint brush. It's up to the individual's technique but we do try to discourage using one's fingers too close to the blade. Hope this helps.   Sheila

I always found better and used a wet camel's hair pencil. It provides the most gentle pull on the sections. René J.     --- On Tue, 3/8/11, Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/OID/NCEZID) j...@cdc.gov wrote: From: Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/OID/NCEZID) j...@cdc.gov Subject: [Histonet] microtome safety To:

I use curved forceps to hold the ribbon and a paint brush to release it from the knife edge. The curved forcepts help to separate the sections and remove air bubbles. Jennifer MacDonald Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/OID/NCEZID) j...@cdc.gov Sent by: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu
