[Histonet] low profile blades and cutting angle

[Whitaker, Bonnie]

I like both, but use the MX because they are cheaper, and they are, if not
quite as good as, certainly a much greater value than the AccuEdge blades (I
do think that on average I go through the MX a little faster, but they are
still cheaper!!).  I alsoo like the MB22 from ThermoFisher for cutting small,
thin sections, like renal bx.

I am with you Hazel.  We cut paraffin and today I am cutting GMA plastic with
them.  They are great for us.

We use MX premier microtome blades and order from ThermoFisher.     I do have
the accuedge blades but prefer the MX blades.   The accuedge blades just
don't seem to be as good as they used to be...my opinion only.

AccuEdge by Sakura Finetek are the best (avail. through VWR) 

Not only have I tried a few other brands, but our former knowledgeable and
experienced histotech here at UB recommends AccuEdge.
