[Histonet] Cutting 20-50 micron sections

[DeLovino, Salvacion S.]

Try putting the blocks to be cut in warm water (your water bath will do) for
a few seconds right before cutting. Never put them on ice. Don't use new
blades. Good luck........

Subject: [Histonet] Cutting 20-50 micron sections

Any suggestions for cutting thick (20-50) micron paraffin sections. They
curl when they hit the blade and though I am perservering, I was hoping for
a tip or two, or three or four or five .................
