Subject: [Histonet] Large slides and Exakt resin



Our lab is now doing a lot of work on resin embedded samples that are too large for standard slides (76x25 mm) so we are using over-size slides. These are 100 x 50 x 1.5 mm. These are great for fitting the samples on BUT the slides don't fit in any racks that we have, or in staining pots. Does anyone out there use these sized slides and know of a supplier of suitable slide boxes, racks and staining jars? I have had a look through some of the main suppliers and couldn't see anything. Any help greatly appreciated.

As for the Exakt resin. We were told that we could recycle the Technovit 7200VLC resin by using it for the previous dilution i.e. the 100% becomes 70:30 which becomes 50:50 etc. System is still new to us so haven't tried it out yet. Don't know if this would work with 7100 resin. Can't see why not as long as the last solution is fresh. Would be very interested to hear how it turns out
