[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 79, Issue 1

Tue Jun 1 16:46:49 CDT 2010

Larry,

Look at the Biocare Nemesis 7200.  We switched from the LabVision instrument in 2007 to the Biocare Nemesis in 2007 and have been pleased with its performance.  We do not run a wide variety of antibodies but find this stainer easy to use, flexible and consistent.

Thanks,

Chad Miller

> I have "inherited" a JB-4 manual microtome that was set up for plastic sectioning. I have no manual and I am not familiar with this machine. I would like to set it up for paraffin sectioning. Does anyone still have a manual for this type of microtome? It has a knife holder for metal disposable knives but I don't know what to do about the piece/pieces that hold the paraffin block. I really need a picture or a description of how the paraffin block is to be held for sectioning. Can anyone help? Thanks.

> Hi Histonetters,
> 
> One of my pathologists is going on a mission to Haiti in July. She is taking battery powered microscope to use. She is not sure what type of power is available. All the manual says about the battery option is "the LED configuration is operational with an in-built re-chargeable battery and charging circuit. The battery will be charged with a direct input power supply of 110-240V AC 50Hz/g0Hz which ensures continuous operation under fluctuating voltages." Greek to me. Has anyone been down since the earthquake using such battery powered scope? Know of power limitations? If so, got any tips, clues, pieces of wisdom? I know there are experts out there who know.
