RE: [Histonet] accu-edge low profile microtome blades
We use the low-profile microtome blades and love them. We actually found Thermo-Fisher's brand of the low-profile to work just as well and they are less expensive. We had problems with other manufacturers' low -profile blades that had the oil on them. However we have several sample boxes and I will have the techs wipe the oil off and see if they work better. Thanks, Laurie.

We noticed an oil/lubricant of some sort on the blades in the last box that we opened (we checked one other box and it has the same, although none previously did, or at least we didn't notice it). The oil is giving us problems with our sectioning. Has anyone else noticed this, either now or in the past? Also, does anyone have a suggestions of other blades we should use?

RE: [Histonet] accu-edge low profile microtome blades
About 1/2 of my tech.'s wipe the oil off; otherwise it causes the first 2-3 ribbons to curl off the knife, rather than forming a nice ribbon.

It's not the oil that's giving you trouble because they have always had oil -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Brandi Higgins Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 3:12 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] accu-edge low profile microtome blades Hello all, We use the accu-edge low profile microtome blades (exclusively, as they work best for us).
