Money Saving Tips

Save Money on Printer Ink - Most printers are set to print at Normal or Best Quality and use a tremendous amount of ink. Actually, ink is the most expensive thing about a printer! For most applications, using the draft quality setting will produce a very acceptable quality printed page and will use far less ink. So, set the default to the lowest quality. In Windows, Click Start>>Printers and Faxes. Right-click your printer and select Printing Preferences. Select the Paper/Quality tab. Under Quality Settings, click Draft. Under Color, click Black & White. No sense in burning through your color ink unnecessarily either. Now, when you print your will use far less ink and only black ink unless you choose to print in color. To print a higher quality page with color, when you click print, choose 'printer preferences' and change the quality setting to 'Normal' and the color setting to 'color'. This will change the setting for this print job only.

Save money on Cryo Embedding Media - Whether you use O.C.T. or T.F.M. or some other brand of embedding media, it is frustrating when the bottle gets more than half empty waithing for the medium to run to the tip. Many people keep the bottle up side down to avoid this. Sometimes people just throw out the bottle when it gets low and open a new bottle. Is is useful and saves a lot of money over time, to take the bottles which are nearly empty and turn them upside down in a partialy full bottle and squeeze out the last into the new bottle. Over time this can save hundreds of dollars.

Save money on Cryo-Spray - No matter what brand of cryo-spray you use, you can go through a lot of cryo spray in a weeks time. Many people spray quite hard to cool the specimen or chuck or whatever they are cooling. This does two things: First it sprays a lot of frost on whatever is being cooled. Second it wastes probably over half of the coolant being sprayed out. Try using a lighter spray or just drizzle the spray on the object you are cooling. You will get the desired effect utilizing far less spray coolant. Remember, everything you see dripping off the specimen you are cooling is wasted coolant.
