Dear Kimberly,

The Waste Collection Bags are still available and are still identified by the
part number of 4658.   They come in a case of 250.   In the United States they
are available through Allegiance (800/964-5227), VWR (800/932-5000) and
Government Scientific Sources (800/248-8030).
To place your order just identify the product name and the Sakura product
number
of 4858.
If you live outside of the U.S., please reply back to me and I'll provide your
specific contact.

Also, I do offer apologies for no reply to your e-mail inquiry.  I have
forwarded your reply issue to responsible departments.      

I hope this information ends your search.
Kind regards,
Nancy

Hello,

I have been searching, without success, for microtome waste collection bags.
The ones I have say,

"Tissue-Tek II, 4658 Microtome Waste Collection Bag, Miles Scientific, Division

of Miles Laboratories, Inc., Naperville, IL 60566."

Then under the Miles logo is the number 50961E R813.

I tried to look up Miles Scientific and was unable to find it.  Then I emailed
Sakura because they appear to be the new makers of Tissue-Tek products.  They
have not gotten back to me.

Does anyone know where to buy these bags so that I can restock my supply?  If
so, my colleagues and I would greatly appreciate a post.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Kimberly Atkin - HT (ASCP)
