style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Thank you for your input. Not a lot
of people want to talk about the problems with the Tape-Transfer System.
We also have two in our lab and I have tried on several occasions to work with
Instrumedics to understand how it can be used. Eventually they
stopped emailing me which ended our collaboration. Now I don't recommend
the tape method to anyone. I have published two articles on Array
Instruction in The Journal of Histotechnology and I thought at one time that
the Tape Method could me a good alternative for techs that have a problem
cutting arrays. But now I tell them to find someone in their area
that can cut well. </span></font><font color=black><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>>I am so
excited that people are publicly voicing just how they feel about this most
horrendous tape method. First off, I have felt all along that it is an insult
to any HistoTech who cuts........the two technicians who do the cutting in my
lab cut absolutely gorgeous sections.......special attention is paid to the
TMA's and they get consistent beautiful sections with little to no distortions.
My lab director was so impressed, however, by the articles she had read about
the "success" of the tape method, we were asked to buy one for each
cutting station.....they now just sit in the drawer in case a researcher feels
the need. I have a feeling we will end up tossing them in due time. I am all
for the poll. I no longer participate in the Histonet and was given this
information from a friend. You are certainly more than welcome to express my
views if you like. I would though like to state this is nothing against Bernice
and Instrumedics. They have known for quite some time that their tape method
needs work. I would hope they would benefit from the information they would
receive from a poll such as you would like to undertake. Please feel free to
contact me at any time.......thanks. Linda </span></font><font color=black><span
