Hi Everyone:

I'm interested in finding out what factors are used to determine which type 
of disposable blades (hi/low profile) are selected for use in a laboratory.  
I have talked to many histologists and the reasons are still unclear. The 
selection seems to be more personal preference rather than technical.  I hope 
responses to the following questions will help me figure out which one to 
choose.



Do you use high or low profile blades?

If you use both, what is the ratio of high to low?

On a 1 to 5 scale (5 being very likely), would you be willing to
switch to a high or low profile blade if a better product was available?

Which one do you consider to be the best on the market today?

Why?

Would a medium profile blade be a good compromise if one was available (1-5 
scale)? 

Why?


Thanks,

Al
