Terri Bishop at SPScientific sent me an e-mail about HistoChill, a frozen section freezing bath that replaces the discontinued HistoBath. Terri didn't feel it was appropriate for a vendor to post this directly on HistoNet, so I am. You can contact Terri Bishop at terri.bis...@spscientific.com
HistoChill has been available for about a year. You can see the brochure at http://www.spscientific.com/Air-Stream-/-Baths-/-Chillers-/-Traps-/-Probes.aspx I'm pleased that they are specifically recommending using 3M's non-flammable perfluorocarbon HFE-7000 coolant, and not isopentane or acetone. (I feel like I've struck a blow for lab safety!) As has been noted on HistoNet before, Hacker Instruments offers Alan Bright's Clini-RF, a competing product. I have no commercial connection with any of the companies I've mentioned, and I have no personal experience with either instrument.
