Hello everyone!


I have a question for all of the histo techs out there. It appears we
are going to have to change some products and we are in need of some
product recommendations.  


Currently we use EM400 paraffin for embedding and infiltration.  Our
department has tried to change paraffin before.  The paraffins tested
did not work well for us so I would like to know if anyone can tell
me a comparable paraffin and from which vendor do you purchase?


I may also need to change the blades that I use for microtomy.  I
prefer the Surgipath / Leica high profile thin disposable blades (Item
3802123) and I am looking for a similar blade.  


Thank you!
