One of our microtomes is not working properly and would appreciate some advice on purchasing a new one or maybe refurbished. I have had some quotes on a Tanner scientific manual rotary microtome, titan 5000 . Thermo Shandon Finesse and a Thermo Shandon Microm HM325. Mr. Grimm with Thermo fisher has new and used on both of these models. Help me please I don't want to buy a clunker. Thanks for your time. _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
