I have a question for all in Histoland...
Concerning the CAP revision on the use of negative controls...I work in a NJ
lab that does work for NY offices, CAP states we no longer need to run
controls if using biotin free detection but does NY state board of health
agree? Not running those extra slides is a huge money and time saver. We are
using Leica Bond III and the polymer detection. Anyone have an answer or
know where I can get the answer?

It is a high quality work horse. I've worked with newer and older microtomes
of this very model and never had any problems. You can utilize the motorized
function to minimize repetitive motion, but you can also use it manually if
needed. What is there not to like?

Subject: [Histonet] Microtome feedback
Hello and TGIF to everyone. I'm exploring getting a new microtome and would
like to draw on the vast knowledge and experience out there in Histoland.
The three I'm looking at are: the Zeiss Hyrax M55, Thermo Scientific ME+,
and the Leica RM2255.
Thanks,
Fred Underwood

We purchased the Leica RM2255 just over a year ago. It is the only one we
have and is primarily used by one tech. In her absence, others use her
machine. What is great about it, is that it is VERY easy to adapt to it. The
controls are easy to figure out, cuts beautiful slides, and can be used
either manually or completely automatic. Additionally, it has a "homing"
option for the block holder.........pretty handy if you need to adjust the
block holder often!
In the future, I plan on replacing 2 more microtomes with this Leica
microtome.
