ug, i wonder if anyone else here will know what i'm talking about.
horsehair brushes will work quite well but a photographer i used to work for had a small setup where it had two sets of opposing brushes and a small fan. worked great. i'd definitely consider buying one if i had a ton of neg scanning to do.
There was a commercial version (for photo labs) of such a device, I can't find a quick picture though.
It was two of these mounted bristle-to-bristle:
you would drag the neg strip through before inserting in the neg carrier.
It also hooked up to a small blower & electrically powered (anti-static)
Wont remove any thing other than loose dust, though.
I used to use Bestine® to remove dust & oils as well.
