[Histonet] HistoBath, HistoChill, Clini-RF

Terri Bishop at SPScientific sent me an e-mail about HistoChill, a frozen section freezing bath that replaces the discontinued HistoBath. Terri didn't feel it was appropriate for a vendor to post this directly on HistoNet, so I am. You can contact Terri Bishop at terri.bis...@spscientific.com

[Histonet] Histobath

Hey All, I am working with a company to develop a replacement for the Histobath. They should have a prototype to me by the end of the week. I am looking for a lab, preferably in the Chicago, that is willing to test and assess the product. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks Matt --

[Histonet] Histobath revised

Hey again. I was not refering to a tissue flotation bath. The Histobath was a product sold by Shandon. It had a chamber filled with isopentane or alcohol and was used for quick freezing tissue for a cryostat. Sorry if there was any confusion. Thanks Matt -- Matthew Mincer Tech One

Does anyone know the normal operating temperature of the Thermo Histobath? A customer has asked me to repair theirs and I want to make sure I get the temp correct. Thanks Matt -- Matthew Mincer Tech One Biomedical Service 159 N Marion Street PMB163 Oak Park, IL 60301 office (708) 383-6040 X

Re: [Histonet] Histobath

Hi Matt, Depending on the wax melting point which should be around 57 degree Celsius, your water bath should be set at 50 degree Celsius. Hope this help. Malika Benatti BSc MIBMS Specialist Biomedical Scientist Great Ormond Street Children Hospital London, WC1N 3JH UK Tel: (+44) 0207 4059200

[Histonet] Histobath part 2

I forgot to mention, this Histobath I am talking about is the one with a refrigerated tank. You fill the tank with a liquid (I forget what the chemical is) and use it to quick-freeze tissue to be cut in a cryostat. Peace Matt -- Matthew Mincer Tech One Biomedical Service 159 N Marion Street

Re: [Histonet] Histobath part 2

Matt, I have a copy of the instructional/operational manual from my histobath that we purchased in 1994 from Shandon-Lipshaw. The specifications for its lowest temperature is -60C. The liquid that is used is 2-methylbutane (isopentane). I can fax you a copy if it would help. Lynette Lynette

Re: [Histonet] Histobath

Sorry for that Matt, In this case the internal temperature of the cryostat chamber should be set at -20 to -22 degree Celsius, not sure what would the actual temperature of the histobath itself but our thermo scientific cryostat has the following settings: - the cryobar is set at -18 Degree

[Histonet] Histobath Frozen Sections

Hello, I am looking for a replacement for my Shandon Histo-bath. It is a snap freeze instrument that I have been using with Isopentane. Do you have something comparable to this or any suggestion? My Histobath finally gave up. Many thanks, Deborah K. Edwards, HTL/QIHC, (ASCP)
