Carolyn Give me a call I we can arrange to have a service call to repair your instrument. This can be repaired.

This causes the tissue to stick to the stationary heat extractor which causes significant problems cutting frozen sections. The engineer has serviced the machine several times, but recognizes this as "normal ice buildup". We manually defrost the unit 2-3 times a day, but it does not seem to help. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, and if so, what are they doing about it? Thank you.

RE: [Histonet] Leica CM1850uv
I also am using the CM1850, we have several of them in our hospital system. We do not have ice build-up at all in any of them, and we are in a VERY HUMID and VERY HOT Florida. I would suggest using another service rep. Where are you located? I could recommend a great service company in my area. As a desperate, short-term measure, you could put a cup of desiccant on the back of the work-area plate. Don't let the Turkeys get you down!

Re: [Histonet] Leica CM1850uv
I've worked with 4 of these units, two had the problem, two didn't. Long story short, the problem won't go away until you have the Peltier unit replaced. That is not normal ice buildup.
