Re: substitute for K-mount - longish reply
Dear Leon,
Perhaps I did not make myself clear. I am aware that technovit 3040 is a
substitute for K-mount, but if I order it from Germany, it will take 6 weeks
to get here!!!! We use products such as this to stick block mounts such as
"histoblocs" to the polymerised specimen block, as well as to build up
smaller or thinner blocks so that they can be clamped more easily in the
microtome.
We have, in the past, used K-plast, a MMA resin for our specimens, but due
to the supply company being unreliable, I have just recently started using
Technovit 9100new. For moulds, I use anything, including small plastic food
containers with lids(the kind that no self- respecting housewife would use
as they conatin about 2 tablespoons of anything) to polypropylene pill
vials.
Thank you fo your help,
Beste wense
