Also, would you just let me know privately how many of you use this
instrument or method? Thanks, j

I have a pathologist very concerned about using the Histobath (isopentane
chilled to -70C ) following potentially infectious tissue - TB, HIV, etc. 
I have asked this question before, but could I please get fresh responses,
possibly with references stating that this is a very acceptable method of
freezing tissue blocks for frozen sections? 
I very much appreciate your help - thanks in advance. 
And have a good weekend everyone! j
