I have a tech who complains about static/compression in our cell blocks, but I
don't seem to have the same problem as her. The difference? I face my blocks
and then soak it on my waterbath for about 15 -30 seconds and then it goes onto
the ice tray. The additional moisture that is soaked up
They use static guard spray here at this facility in IL, but it does make it

I am also having issues with static, but only on my particle blocks.
This happens in the summer as well. The static is actually in the
block. The core biopsies cut wonderfully. Does anyone else run into
this problem? I can see the effects of the static when I'm embedding,
the particles float
Static spray might work on the coats. To keep static at a minimum we keep
wet paper towels in our waste tray on the microtome. The more moisture the

You know, all of it sounds so easy...unless you're cryosectioning!!
Does putting a humidifier outside help with static in a cryostat? Because
