[Histonet] Microtome Problems

[Rathborne, Toni]

Usually the service techs that come in will give a 30 day call-back period that is included as part of the service call. I would have them come back until it is working properly.

Hello All

 

I'm new to the group and histo. (3 years) so far I'm getting a lot of useful
tips from all the messages.  Thank you.

 

I have two microtomes that were working almost perfectly before I had a
technician service them.  Now, the Leica 2035 Jung biocuts' blade holder is
twisting to the side (going up at one end).  I have tried tightening,
slacking, and cleaning the entire assembly to no avail.  Does anyone know of
where I might be able to source one or even how to fix the one I have.

 

Secondly, the Leitz 1512 rotary microtome, is now jumping forward and giving
a loud clanking noise.  It takes huge chunks out of the tissue.

 

Any and all help is appreciated,

 

Thank you

Sharon
