Hi Glen,
      Could the contamination problem be solved  by using Ralph glass
knives( 25 or 38mm widths)??  We have both triangular and Ralph glass knife
holders for our microtomes.

All,

I have a pathologist who is running into problems with metal contamination
due to various microtome knives running into prostatic concretions.  He
asked me to inquire as to whether or not anyone out there in histo-land has
heard of a manufacturer of titanium microtome blades.  Non disposable or
disposable will do.

Thanx In Advance,
