The CM3050s is the best in my opinion for research or heavy duty frozen

The RM2255 is a workhorse. We have three of those and 3 RM2155s as an older
model. The 2255 is the best. I had used the 2255 in the past to cut plastic
with a tungsten carbide knife and it held up better than anything else
available at the time.

We have twelve, scattered through three departments and have had no issues.
Early models had a print head issue that was resolved. We wouldn't trade them

We use the specimen or accessioning number and the patient name as the two
identifiers and that seems to meet the criteria. We use the Thermo cassette
writer and it transfers the information to the slides.

The programs were dropped as the pathologist could still hold the training
etcetera to suit their needs and not worry about allowing histologist to become
part of the professional/complex testing world. In the 1960s when this
happened we did few of the tests we are asked to do now and really
Some people have issues with the smell and the other option is Anatech ProPar
or Richard Allan Thermo non-aliphatic hydrocarbon subs which have very low odor
and are also about the same price. We can't use the orange smell in our lab as

I understand the NAACLS rules and live in reality where it is not always
followed due to expediency to have a registered HT. It is not the best way to
