RE: [Histonet] block alignment
| From: | "JENNIFER SCHUMACHER" |
We currently are using the one marketed by Newcomer, which is the same
one that has been previously mentioned as being designed by Mr. Davis in
Colorado. They have two separate ones, one which will fit Leica and a
different one which will fit Microm. They are not cheap, but it only
has to save one specimen to be worth the money. Our techs didn't like
them at first (felt they were a waste of money), but have grown to
appreciate the importance. I don't have any experience with the Hiso
Collimitor.

The literature I have shows that it fits the majority of Microms. I
know they are now the distributor but that hasn't always been the
case.
The one Newcomer has fits Microms and Leica, I believe.

It only fits their microtomes.

Jeanine,
I believe we have 7 Histo Collimators here and I've used
one for
at least 5
or 6 years and I couldn't go without it. Using the
Collimator,
I usually
waste less than 10 microns worth of tissue on an outside
block
face-in.

Hi:
Does anyone out there have any experience with block
alignment
products
such as the Microtome Aligner from Newcomer or the Histo
Collimator? We
receive a huge number of outside blocks and I adjust my
block
holder
accordingly, but others in the group say it's easier to
re-embed
all
outside blocks (Yikes!) and then have every microtome
aligned
the same.
I was just wondering if these aligners work and if so
perhaps it
could
be an alternative for those individuals that normally
would
rather
re-embed than realign.
Thanks!
