Dear Histo Peeps,
I am on the advisory board for a local high school Biotech class and have been
helping them process, embed, cut, and stain tissue (they use chicken livers
can't use human). My husband fixed up an old black AO microtome for them a few
years ago so they actually cut sections.
Oho! Thank you very much, Jim!
To the rest of Histonet, I withdraw my request for a manual. Now that I
have that missing piece of information, I know just where to get it.
Thanks anyway and have a great weekend!

Hi Brandy,
Our QC program indicates that all slides are QC'd by a tech prior to leaving
the lab. Once, QC is done, the tech delineates between the patient tissue and
control. This indicates to the lab assistant that they are ready to be
distributed. Stain quality is also 'assumed' through the
We just got one of these embedding centers at auction. This is model 4710,
but it didn't come with a user manual. An online search turned up manuals
for the TEC 4 and 5, but not this one. Would anyone happen to have one,
and if so, any chance you can scan it and email it to me? (No rush,
though.

We would love to be completely paperless eventually. We are in the process of
interfacing our instruments with PowerPath and this is where we are having a
problem developing a code for the repeats.
Thanks again for your advice, every little bit helps!
Sincerely,
