Hi Nita,
We had a similar problem and our Technical Service rep narrowed it down to
where the coverslippers were actually manufactured. After changing out the
coverslipper 3 times, he ordered a new one directly from Tuscon and we have not
had the problem again. So far as humidity goes, there co

skin will help with the problem but
let's just say that if we do decide to ink the surface of these specimens, does
anyone know of an ink that will actually stick to skin? I would appreciate
anyones input. Thanks and have a great weekend.

We currently use the Symphony from Ventana and the Leica with attached glass

Symphony to do all routine clinical work.

The proper way to do this would be to time each tech in your lab as to how many
blocks they can cut in one hour. Take everyones number of blocks and do an

Hi Richard,
I am assuming that you are using the flash in the cryojane system to adhere the
specimen to the slide. Make sure your tape is not too old and don't store it in
the cryostat. It sounds like you are able to get the section but unable to get
it to adhere. Make sure you pass your rol
