They sell industrial anti-static sprays, you spray the equipment, the
bottom of your shoes, and the floor.  They work.

Also, you can ground your microtome to a pipe with a ground strap.

Re: [Histonet] Static electricity Tip

[Logan, Shannon via Histonet]

Glad to see this postI also use the dryer balls too (two tennis balls) and 
it helps greatly!! No more static and cutting
is much more "tame".  
Not to mention that it is healthier because dryer sheets are full of chemicals 
and toxins. 
Have a good one...

Subject: [Histonet] Static electricity Tip

I cannot be the only histology tech that had a problem with static electricity 
so I am sharing my recent find.

In the past I had tried extra fabric softener, dryer sheets at microtomy, wool 
balls in my dryer with my uniforms, any suggestions, I tried with little to no 
success. The recent try was a large ball of aluminum foil (size of a baseball) 
in the dryer instead for dryer sheets or dryer ball with my uniforms (thank you 
YOUTUBE) and much to my surprise this was the first time I was able to go 
through work without my lab coat or microtomy sections sticking to me. Yes, you 
can reuse it and yes, it does make a thudding sound in the dryer that might 
drive some crazy but no where near as crazy as the static at microtomy.

[Histonet] Static electricity Tip

[Cassie P. Davis via Histonet]

I cannot be the only histology tech that had a problem with static electricity 
so I am sharing my recent find.

In the past I had tried extra fabric softener, dryer sheets at microtomy, wool 
balls in my dryer with my uniforms, any suggestions, I tried with little to no 
success. The recent try was a large ball of aluminum foil (size of a baseball) 
in the dryer instead for dryer sheets or dryer ball with my uniforms (thank you 
YOUTUBE) and much to my surprise this was the first time I was able to go 
through work without my lab coat or microtomy sections sticking to me. Yes, you 
can reuse it and yes, it does make a thudding sound in the dryer that might 
drive some crazy but no where near as crazy as the static at microtomy.
