I have a question for all in Histoland...
Concerning the CAP revision on the use of negative controls...I work in a NJ  
lab that does work for NY offices,  CAP states we no longer need to run  
controls if using biotin free detection but does NY state board of health  
agree? Not running those extra slides is a huge money and time saver. We are  
using Leica Bond III and the polymer detection. Anyone have an answer or  
know where I can get the answer?

It is a high quality work horse. I've worked with newer and older microtomes  
of this very model and never had any problems. You can utilize the motorized  
function to minimize repetitive motion, but you can also use it manually if  
needed. What is there not to like?

Hello and TGIF to everyone.  I'm exploring getting a new microtome and would  
like to draw on the vast knowledge and experience out there in Histoland.   
The three I'm looking at are:  the Zeiss Hyrax M55, Thermo Scientific ME+,  
and the Leica RM2255.

Thanks,

We purchased the Leica RM2255 just over a year ago. It is the only one we  
have and is primarily used by one tech. In her absence, others use her  
machine. What is great about it, is that it is VERY easy to adapt to it. The  
controls are easy to figure out, cuts beautiful slides, and can be used  
either manually or completely automatic. Additionally, it has a "homing"  
option for the block holder.........pretty handy if you need to adjust the  
block holder often!
In the future, I plan on replacing 2 more microtomes with this Leica  
microtome.
