What to do if sections tear or crack with Thermo Scientific HM525 NX Laboratory Equipment?
- C
  cindy54Aug 3, 2025
  If the sections tear or crack while using your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. The knife might not be sharp enough, so try moving it in the knife carrier. Ensure the knife is adequately clamped. Also, check that the chuck is properly clamped and the specimen is adequately frozen onto it. If the specimen is too thick or hard and uneven, re-freeze it, select a new section thickness, or reduce the specimen size.

Why are sections sticky with Thermo Scientific HM525 NX?
- D
  Dillon MartinezAug 8, 2025
  If you're having trouble with sticky sections when using your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, it could be because the specimen isn't cold enough, so try selecting a lower temperature. Another reason could be that the knife and/or anti-roll plate are not yet cold enough, causing the section to melt; allow them to cool. Ensure the specimen is correctly clamped, increasing blade clamping force if necessary. Also, make sure the specimen is securely mounted and that there is no debris or ice on the back of the chuck or on the specimen head.

Why HM525NX temperature cannot be achieved in Thermo Scientific HM525 NX?
- J
  Jeffrey BrownAug 13, 2025
  If the HM525NX temperature cannot be achieved with your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, consider these potential causes: The ambient temperature might be too high; lower it by improving ventilation or using climate control, noting the specified temperature of +20°C. The HM525NX could be influenced by nearby heat-generating instruments, so change the installation site. Draughts into the HM525NX can also be a factor, so relocate the equipment. A soiled condenser can cause this issue; open the service door on the left side and clean the condenser. If none of these resolve the problem, there may be a defective cooling system, and you should call a service technician.

Why retarded freezing-on of the specimen in Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment?
- R
  Raymond Snyder IIAug 23, 2025
  If you're experiencing retarded freezing-on of the specimen with your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, it could be due to a soiled surface on the fast freezing station. Remove any debris to resolve this. Alternatively, the lower part of the chuck might be soiled or damaged; remove any debris and address any damage.
