Dear List,
I was cryo-sectioning fixed-frozen and fresh-frozen mouse brains, and found
a lot of wrinkles and folding in the fixed-frozen sections, while the
fresh-frozen sections were pretty smooth. Below are my sectioning
conditions and observations. I would appreciate any advice on improving
Does anyone have a lab that has combined histology and cytology? I would like
to know how they are staffed and if accessioning handles all samples or if they
are handled separate?
Best Wishes

We just recently purchased the Epredia NX50, which we use with our older
HM525s. We love it, I just wish they would make height adjustability a standard
option on them!

Hi Mehndi,
Same here, I had been using Epredia cryostat for the last several years. I
like it very much. A video on youtube shows its beautiful features.

Mehndi, we also cut frozens for DIF on kidney and muscle histochem. We have two
Epredia NX70 cryostats. We've used them for 8 years now and really like them.

Hello,
Trying to get everyone's opinion on cryostats. We have had the Leica CM1850
forever and it is not being supported by Leica anymore. Thinking of trying a
different company maybe Tanner or Rankin. What does everyone use and like. We
do not cut Mohs, only DIFs. Maybe 1 a day.
Thanks
