In China we can buy Leica, Feather, or domestic.
The domestic ones are not uniformly good or bad.
I am really really tired of Feather and I consider that my time
is worth something so I insist that we use Leica although they
are as "high as a cat's back".

Hello does anyone have a source for Personna Single-edge stainless steel razor
blades? Our former vendor no longer stocks them. Thanks, Atoska

>>Blades for grossing tissues- anyone have recommendations? The vendor that
we were purchasing just straight razor blades from has stopped
manufacturing them. We don't use scalpels because of their higher cost and
we are only working with poultry
Veronique,
May I ask what type of specimen is embedded into the JB-4 resin? Nevertheless,
you should be able to cut these blocks using a tungsten-carbide knife. While
there are a few vendors out there that sell these knives, in my laboratory I
personally use knives re-sharpened by Delaware
I've only cut resin with a glass or diamond knife in an ultramicrotome. If you
are attempting to do it in a regular microtome, you would need a special blade
holder. I don't know if any microtome manufactures make glass knife holders.
You make the glass blades yourself using special glass.
Yes brightinstruments, com make glass knife holder and tungsten carbide tipped
knives for microtomes,

I have been in histology and cutting for about 26 years now. I have
used many types of blades, high and low profile. My favorite and I
think the best ones are Surgipath Teflon coated high or low profile
blades. I believe the high profile blades are the best but I do realize
that not everyone
Dorothy,
I put ours in a 15 mL centrifuge tube with a cap sit it on the base of the
microtome for the next use, that way, no one gets cut the blade is able to be
used to the fullest of it's potential. :-)

I use the cardboards that come in a box of slides. A small piece of tape on
the open side and mark it used. I just always make sure I have the blade
edge facing the folded part. I know some who will tape this folded
board it to the side of their microtome and use it as a trimming blade
holder.
We use plastic 5 slide mailers

I will save a blade in a plastic 5-slide mailer. I usually use it for
trimming so that I don't waste a new blade. I label the container with
sharps info.
