My tried and true method is to wet the gloved hand with a little absoule
alcohol, then pick up my slide.  It works for me.

Our pathology group has a LEICA CM1850 cryostat, My question to the histonet
is......Does anyone experience static electricity when trying to pick up
sections?  When we try to pick up the sections they will fly up to the slide
or off on their own.  We would like to know how to remedy this if there is
any. Thanks for your help
