Our lab is currently working with three Reichert-Jung 820 model microtomes.
They are approximately 6-9 years old. Does anyone else work with these
microtomes? Can you give me some feedback on the perfomance of this model
from past experience? And what is your opinion about the life expectancy of
this model? We section about 250 blocks per day on an average. I'm just
curious if anyone out there has any problems with their 820.
I appreciate any response to these questions in advance!!
