Re: [Histonet] Question Regarding HM355S Automatic Microtome

2024-02-29 Thread Donna Emge via Histonet 
Diana,

I have used the HM355S at two different labs and liked it. Make sure to
demo it or purchase it with the “E” type disposable blade carrier. No one
liked the “ER” type blade carrier.  You can see the difference between them
in the operator manual -?just do a browser search for the manual. I also
really liked using the foot pedal to stop and start. The memory feature
makes fast work of. trimming blocks. When you put the next block in the
clamp, push the memory button and it retracts to the exact position needed
to start trimming the block.

Hello,

Is it a common practice to preorder stains that involve the stomach searching 
for H pylori?  Or, is it more common to order as needed?

Thank you for anyone's feedback.

Hi Diana,

We are not currently using the HM355S in our lab, but we did demo it and were 
not fans. I would see if you can demo one to see if you like it.  We had the 
Thermo Shandon Finesse and Finesse Me models and we loved them but the HM355S 
didn't appear to be designed the same way and we ended up getting the Leica 
Autocuts and love them!!

Have a great day.
