1.  The Millipore Corporation used to sell small hand held Po-210
antistatic devices (low cost is a relative thing in this business!?)
to keep their Nucleopore very thin membranes from wrinkling up when
setting up diffusion cells for various biotech applications.  I found
it very effective for the useful life of the source (about a year or
so before it was too weak to effectively prevent static induced
deformation of the membranes).

2.  Not sure if that company still exists or if the product is still
available.

I'd like to know if old "Static Brush" products, with a polonium
source, sold for the cleaning vinyl LP records are still
manufactured?  If so, where can I find one?  Also, what other
small, inexpensive anti-static devices are available?
