Happy Friday Histonetters!
I am working on a histology platform in a research center and someone came
to me last week and asked to cut blocs of resin (JB-4 resin) on the
microtome. I never cut anything else than paraffin, so I was wondering if
some of you had advices for me?
They never did it
Veronique,
May I ask what type of specimen is embedded into the JB-4 resin? Nevertheless,
you should be able to cut these blocks using a tungsten-carbide knife. While
there are a few vendors out there that sell these knives, in my laboratory I
personally use knives re-sharpened by Delaware
it doesn't.
