Hi, I am trying to order a tool that I can flatten wavy tissues down at the bottom of the mold for embedding. It looks like a little metal square (kind of) stamp.

They are called tampers and are available at Sakura - 1551 and 1552. They are also available through Cardinal, but I'm not sure the item numbers for Cardinal.

Re: [Histonet] Embedding Stamp???
Some people call it a thumper (I do not like the name at all) and others call it a tissue pressing tool or a tissue flattening tool. Always made of aluminum with a T shape.

Go to a Pipe shop and look into tobacco tampers. Very useful ... they have a longer handle and don't seem quite as hot as the square Histo tamper.

Ack! You beat me to it ;-) We use pipe nails which come from a local pipe store and are very inexpensive. They work well for prostate and other core biopsies. Bill B.

Histonet friends, Try using the hex head of a 3/8 inch diameter 1-2 1/2 long bolt. This works quite well and costs about 15 cents at the hardware store.

Sakura used to sell items called Tissue Tampers just for this purpose in different sizes. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Yeonju Shim Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 8:54 AM To: histonet; histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Embedding Stamp???
