Hi Kimberly,
We are currently using the Milestone Medical brand microwave to decalcify
our bone marrow core biopsies. After fixation we decal the core biopsies in the
microwave for 2.5 hours at 50 degree Celsius with the 10% Formic Acid (we made
up the formic acid in-house). If you need more info please email me.
Thanks
Thomas

?Can anyone that has used the microwave decalcification method, please let me
know how it worked for you? Thanks in advance.

I'm posting on behalf of a local researcher. They have been using an older
microtome that was previously donated by a hospital. It broke down recently and
they cant afford to replace it right now. It is used by the students to cut
their own sections so they just need something that can section at 4 microns.
They are happy to pay the freight if anyone out there has an old working
microtome that they are willing to donate.
Thank you!!!
Heather

Hi Heather,
I do not know where you are located but we have 5-6 good old AO microtomes that
still work very well that we are willing to donate. They are in excellent
condition as they were extremely well maintained over the years and, as a
Biomed Lab technology teaching department, they have been used only twice a
week for 3 weeks each fall semester since they were purchased, some 30 years
ago! They each have a disposable blade holder (high profile) and block clamp
(vs original screwing block holder). We easily cut at 4 microns on them. The
offer is opened to anyone who can pick them up or pay for shipment.
