[Histonet] Large Sections: Prostate

[Angela Bitting]

We've been cutting whole mount prostates here for about a year now. Leica has a Supercassette clamp for their 2265 Microtome which will hold the Supercassettes from Surgipath. We mount our sections on slides we purchase from Brain Research Labs. We stain them using special baskets with adapters that will fit onto a Sakura 2000 or 601 stainer. Those are sold by Sakura. And finally, our coverglass is purchased from Brain Research Labs as well.
BRL also sells cardboard slide folders for the larger slides.
If I can be of any more help, please let me know.
