Hi,
I'm searching online for a microtome where the sample is fixed and the
knife is moving. The microtome cutting movement needs to be motorized and
automatic.
Is there a microtome that has this functionality or is this something that
simply does not exist?
Thank you!

Hello Histonetters,
Just wondering if anyone has had any benchmarks put in place in regards to
blocks cut or slides produced per histotech/scientist per day? I realise that
there are differing levels of complexity per block, we range from 1 slide per
block to 21 one micron section
A quality check can be accomplished in 2 places. It can be done at cutting,
but it should already be being done and it doesn't seem to be working.
Ideally, the stained H&E should be checked against the block face as it is
pulled from the coverslipper to be given to the pathologist. Then it can b
Each of our techs is responsible for fully facing their blocks and getting a
representative section. If the docs see something is amiss (epidermis missing,
incomplete cross section, etc), they can order a Technical Recut rather than a
routine Recut. Unfortunately, it sounds like you (or someone
I suggest that each histotech is responsible for the blocks they cut and they
cut the deepers on the their own blocks when they are requested. With feedback
on the reason for the deeper from the pathologists they (the techs) will become
more confident and learn how deep to cut.

Good Morning HistoNetters,
I am reaching out to the histonet in hopes to get some suggestions from you on
how to handle incomplete cross-sections of tissue in blocks. We are a small lab
so this has not been an issue in the past but now that we are growing and our
staff has increased I am gettin
