|
DESCRIPTION OF UNIT:
A Leica CM 3050s cryostat is available for sectioning of fixed and snap-frozen tissues. The cryostat is designed for use with disposable microtome blades. For in situ work, an additional set of anti-roll plates, specimen plates, and chucks (40 mm diameter) are provided. However, these plates are held in common among MIH users. Frequent users may therefore wish to purchase their own anti-roll plates and chucks. Security for this instrument is provided by video surveillance which operates 24 hrs/day in this room (Rm 937 - Pharmacy).
Additional:
A list of consumables and standard procedures for histology users is provided here.
The standard MIH template for immunohistochemical staining procedures is given here.
The standard sample blocking nomenclature for neurologic samples is provided here.
