[Histonet] Cryo Macrotome

[Cameron Nowell]

Hi List,

We are looking at doing whole mouse sectioning for imaging on a beta imaging system. Does anyone know of any other cryo macrotome systems other than the Leica CM3600 (http://www.leicabiosystems.com/specimen-preparation/sectioning/cryosectioning/details/product/leica-cm3600-xp/) ?

It is way too large for what we need (only mice/rats) and way too expensive.

Alternatively is there a standard macrotome out there for doing this sort of sectioning? What do people use for cutting full slices of human brain?

Cheers

Cam
