I use one drop of microtome oil and they slip right out. I mean don't go crazy with the oil either!

This works really well in the cryostat chamber, too!

I've tried freezing the dispenser, putting it in an oven for a while and whacking the darned thing on the floor (not necessarily all at the same time..). Have we had this discussion before and have we solved this problem? Help?
