Fred I recently found it necessary to purchase a paraffin block trimmer and was
surprised to find that the ThermoShandon has been discontinued. We purchased
the Newcomer andthe techs rarely touch the old Shandon Paratrimmers. The unit
has two power settings but the "low" setting is more than
Yep,
We have one and our new embedding centre has one built in.
Saves a lot of time in preparing blocks for trimming.
A lot safer than using a knife/scraper to remove excess wax from the block.
Highly recommend it

The heated block trimmers are great for labs with a Bar Code tracking
system. The heater will not impede the integrity of the Bar Code on
the block in the process of removing paraffin, like scraping the block
can do. Additionally, most people can de-wax multiple blocks at one
time. The Shandon blo
We have two of the Paratrimmers by Shandon. They really cut down on the
mess with scraping the blocks and the repetitive motion.

I have a TBS shur/trim and I love it compared to 2 others I have used. It has
a large surface and its Teflon so it does not tear up the blocks.
What can't be heat trimmed is the writing portion of the block with the case
number and scan portion if this is the method used in your lab. Hope

We have a block trimmer here in the lab it's not the newcomer supply its from
Shandon, we like it. I personally do not use it but the rest of the
technicians do. I'm a bit old school I have a very old steak knife that I
have been using since 1996 so it's nice and dull and works perfectl
Hi All,
Anyone have any experience with the heated block trimmers? Specifically, I
was looking at the one from Newcomer.
Thanks,
Fred
