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

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. Here
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 Diam
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 h

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 put ours in a small slide box (plastic or styrofoam, 5-25 slides) that is
clearly marked "Microtome Blades for Facing Blocks" to be used another day.

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 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.

I thought the replies would be more "cutting edge".
What I do is the most low tech of all, I put the still usable knife in a box
(usually the empty box from the slides we use) and then use the blades when
needed. Just be careful to keep the pointy part away from your fingers.
All histotech
