[Histonet] Re:Microtome

[Jeff and Wanda Gray]

Amita and all,
Love my Microm 355S, and automated beats manual, hands down. (Pardon the
pun) Automated has allowed me many years of freedom from repetitive motion
injuries. Been in the field, let's just say"amny" years, and am only just
now developing problems, while older colleagues who didn't have the benefit
of automation suffer and have surgery. I know my day will come with computer
use and duties other than cutting, but automation is awesome!

Hello friends,

I am planning to  buy a microtome for my lab i already have Leica manual
one which is working perfectly.

Now I wish to introduce a fully motorized one. 

Short listed items are: Leica RM2255, Microm 355S, Shandon Finess ME.

Let me know your frank review on
1. manual versus automated option
2. Above all three items.in terms of their performance, maintenance and
breakdown etc. or due you suggest any more better option


Thanks in advance for your feed back. In past also histonetters helped me 
to solve many problems, looking forward this time also.

Amita

Hey ya'll,

You can also melt the paraffin on the embedding center... No extra cost and it 
comes with its own drip tray!! :>)

Dear Mala, 

 

In the past, we used an old style permanent edge scalpel blade but after a 
disaster with one person seirously cutting himself while trimming paraffin from 
a block, we purchased a Paratrimmer with a heated, slanted metal surface.  This 
trimmer has made everyone happy by eliminating the potential for serious injury 
and does an even better job of getting rid of excess
paraffin. 

 

There are two models sold, one from Thermo Scientific and the other one was 
recently spotted on a vendor website. (Sorry, I didn't jot the name down).
The trimmers  are worth the investment to keep you and your employees safe from 
nasty cuts, no matter what the knife/blade, etc could be used.  

 

The only drawback to the Para Trimmer is the messy paraffin drippings have to 
be collected in some separate container that the manufacturer doesn't supply.  
This is more than a bit annoying.  It seems to me the manufacturer of these 
devices would design the trimmer with a paraffin catch tray.  A small aluminum 
baking pan (from grocery store) could be used and disposed of
(not a "Green" consideration).

 

Be safe rather than sorry.

[Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[Carol Torrence]

For years I have used a palette knife used for mixing and painting with any
artist media.  You will find it in the art section of any art/craft store.
They have a handle and a flexible blade that does not have a cutting edge on
it.  I have had the same one for years.  If you have a heavy workload, just
wrap masking tape around the area that your index finger comes in contact
with the blade.

: [Histonet] re-cycled xylene in tissue processor

[White, Lisa M.]

We have recycled xylene in the past and now Formula 83 and have a VIP 5
and VIP 6.  Sakura told us when we purchased each processor NOT to use
recycled solvent in Sakura processors for the cleaning solvent station.
If you want to give it a try would suggest waiting until the warranty
has expired on the off chance that something would go wrong.

Hi, Has anyone had experience using re-cycled xylene in the Tissue-Tek VIP5 
tissue processor for the clean cycle?
Will use of re-cycled xylene, over time, damage the processor?

I agree, the Para-Trimmer is the next best thing since sliced bread!  I'll 
never go back to the knife again.

We use lid from one of the Ventana special stains boxes to catch the wax.  I 
have also fashioned a drip tray out of the cardboard boxes that the coverslips 
come in.

We're all McGuyver's at heart, aren't we?  :o)

We are looking for a Certified Histology Technician for per diem work.
You will also do some Pathology Assisting (nothing to extensive on the
PA).  Need someone that can cover vacation, sick days, etc.  Perfect for
someone that is retired and is looking for some extra money.   Need to
be able to work on your own independently and know how to troubleshoot
both Histology and IHC's.  

RE: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

I use a glass staining dish to catch the drippings.  When full I place it in

Re: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks






Actually we have a ParaTrimmer too - it was not that expensive and we love 
it. We paid @ $500 for ours and I see the they are a bit more expensive 
now - list price anyway.
To solve the drip problem I put one of the tops from the boxes of pipette 
tips under the ledge and it catches all the drips. When the paraffin 
hardens you can just pop it out and when the "drip catcher" gets nasty we 
just throw it away and get another one.

Re: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)]

Actually we have a ParaTrimmer too - it was not that expensive and we love it. 
We paid @ $500 for ours and I see the they are a bit more expensive now - list 
price anyway.
To solve the drip problem I put one of the tops from the boxes of pipette tips 
under the ledge and it catches all the drips. When the paraffin hardens you can 
just pop it out and when the "drip catcher" gets nasty we just throw it away 
and get another one.

Re: [Histonet] Re: Knife for trimming paraffin from blocks

[Pam Marcum]

If you are using the cassette writers and slide writers the knives can damage 
the surface of the barcode so I try to have everyone use the paratrimmers.  It 
is best not to have the repetitive injuries some of us developed over years of 
trimming blocks and many other things.

those of us who have carpal tunel syndrome and arthritis in the hands and 
cannot hold a small knife long enough to scrap multiple blocks it is great.  
Just part of my PPE.  Worth every penny.

Dear Mala, 

  

In the past, we used an old style permanent edge scalpel blade but after 
a 
disaster with one person seirously cutting himself while trimming 
paraffin 
from a block, we purchased a Paratrimmer with a heated, slanted metal 
surface.  This trimmer has made everyone happy by eliminating the 
potential 
for serious injury and does an even better job of getting rid of excess 
paraffin.     

  

There are two models sold, one from Thermo Scientific and the other one 
was 
recently spotted on a vendor website. (Sorry, I didn't jot the name 
down). 
The trimmers  are worth the investment to keep you and your employees 
safe 
from nasty cuts, no matter what the knife/blade, etc could be used.   

  

The only drawback to the Para Trimmer is the messy paraffin drippings 
have 
to be collected in some separate container that the manufacturer doesn't 
supply.  This is more than a bit annoying.  It seems to me the 
manufacturer 
of these devices would design the trimmer with a paraffin catch tray.  A 
small aluminum baking pan (from grocery store) could be used and 
disposed of 
(not a "Green" consideration).     

  

Be safe rather than sorry.

Hi All,

I likewise use the Para-trimmer and instead of a specimen cup I just use the 
top lid of a 1/2 gross microscope slide box. Once filled I just throw away in 
the trash.

Kind Regards!

[Histonet] RE: knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[Mayer,Toysha N]

Mala,

I use a dental knife used for trimming dentures.  It is by Buffalo Dental.  It 
has a wooden handle (similar to an old paring knife), but a small blade and 
fits great in my hands (which are kinda big).  
You can also try a company that sells dissecting instuments.  Really what you 
are looking for is a scalpel or cartilage knife.  I have recommended DR 
Instruments to my students.

Don't look in a catalog - go to Target or WalMart and look on the wall with

Re: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[King, Laurie]

If you can't afford the melter, just go to Walmart or someplace similar, you 
can get inexpensive, small kitchen paring knives for less than $1 each. And, 
they are less likely to cause injury than a scalpel.

Gayle,

We just use small disposable weigh boats to catch our drippings and toss
them when full.

Dear Mala, 

 

In the past, we used an old style permanent edge scalpel blade but after a
disaster with one person seirously cutting himself while trimming paraffin
from a block, we purchased a Paratrimmer with a heated, slanted metal
surface.  This trimmer has made everyone happy by eliminating the potential
for serious injury and does an even better job of getting rid of excess
paraffin. 

 

There are two models sold, one from Thermo Scientific and the other one was
recently spotted on a vendor website. (Sorry, I didn't jot the name down).
The trimmers  are worth the investment to keep you and your employees safe
from nasty cuts, no matter what the knife/blade, etc could be used.  

 

The only drawback to the Para Trimmer is the messy paraffin drippings have
to be collected in some separate container that the manufacturer doesn't
supply.  This is more than a bit annoying.  It seems to me the manufacturer
of these devices would design the trimmer with a paraffin catch tray.  A
small aluminum baking pan (from grocery store) could be used and disposed of

RE: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[sdysart]

The melters are pretty cool, but they have a pretty cool price tag too!
If you are on a budget, this is not practical.  I use a scalpel.  Just
make sure you dull the edge a bit before you use it so you don't chop
your fingers off =)

Re: [Histonet] re-cycled xylene in tissue processor

[Rene J Buesa]

If you xylene recycler works according to standard and maintained properly, the 
recycled xylene you obtain is of equal quality to the xylene you buy from your 
usual supplier.
It can be used in any and all steps of your processing and staining protocols, 
and there is no way it could "damage" your or any other tissue processing using 
xylene.
All the "difficulties" with recycled xylene are caused by improper recycling.

RE: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

[Breeden, Sara]

AHA!  I have an Answer!  EMS (Electron Microscopy Sciences) sells a
"One-Piece Scalpel Blade with Handle" Cat. #72048-01 that is perfect for
cleaning blocks of excess paraffin!  I've had one for over 30 years and
it will retire with me!  It is initially sharp (but not as sharp as a
normal blade would be) but if you cut open a few cardboard boxes with it
(which it also does beautifully), it "dulls down" to the perfect edge
for cleaning blocks.  It fits the hand well and doesn't shave the
plastic off the cassette.  Someone left an old paring knife here but
it's too big and cumbersome.
