[Histonet] RE: looking for a product
Lee, we are currently working with a company that is developing a "SmartBx" mold specifically for prostate cores - it works with a "receiver" for the bx at the bx suite which holds the bx in a linear trough. Then that "receiver" is put into an embedding mold with corresponding troughs for perfect alignment and flat embedding. And it is sized for minimal trimming. It still needs some refinement but will probably be available in a few months. One caveat...it seems it has to be used with the company's prostate Bx system and may not work as well with other systems. They have a website, but only very minimal information right now. http://www.uc-care.com/products/smartbx Tim Morken Supervisor, Electron Microscopy and Neuromuscular Special Studies UC San Francisco Medical Center San Francisco, CA -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Bond, Lee Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 6:30 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] looking for a product Hi All- Can anyone tell me where I can purchase histology base molds in a long, thin rectangular shape?

If you don't want to use a knife blade to trim the excess wax, embed at one end of the mold and use the hot plate to remove excess wax on the other end. Only problem may be getting a ribbon if one edge of the trim surface is not straight. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Bond, Lee Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 7:30 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] looking for a product Hi All- Can anyone tell me where I can purchase histology base molds in a long, thin rectangular shape?
