Histobath

From:"Weems, Joyce"

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
