Why do sections tear or crack when using Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
Sections may tear or crack due to the specimen being too cold, in which case you should raise the temperature. It could also be due to a damaged or dirty blade, so try changing the blade.
What to do if sections fold or crumple when using Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
If sections are folding or crumpling, it could be due to several reasons: * The specimen might be too warm, so you should lower the specimen temperature. * The knife holder may be too warm; try lowering the chamber temperature. * The Anti-Roll plate might be too low; raise the Anti-Roll towards the specimen. * The Anti-Roll plate and/or clamp plate could be dirty; clean with absolute alcohol and dry thoroughly.
Why do specimen and section chatter with Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
Specimen and section chatter can occur for several reasons. First, check and tighten all stages of the knife holder, as the knife holder may not be correctly clamped. Second, the blade may be incorrectly clamped; increase blade clamping force by tightening the clamp screw at the rear of the top stage. Third, the specimen may be incorrectly clamped; ensure the specimen is securely mounted and clamped in the specimen head jaws, and verify there is no debris or ice on the back of the chuck or on the specimen head.
What to do if specimen curls after lifting ARP on Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
If the specimen curls after lifting the Anti-Roll plate, it could be that the Anti-Roll plate and clamp plate are too warm, so lower the chamber temperature. Alternatively, the blade might be blunt, so try changing the blade.
What to do if section rolls up under the Anti-Roll plate with Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
If a section rolls up under the Anti-Roll plate, the specimen is likely too cold. Try raising the specimen temperature.
