Abstract: A microtomy method, blade holder and microtomy apparatus is described in which the microtomy blade or sample block is agitated ultrasonically. The sample block and/or cutting blade may be ultrasonically agitated and the invention provides a device for use in microtomy comprising a blade holder adapted to be agitated ultrasonically and to receive a sample sectioning blade and an ultrasonic source arranged to in use to cause the blade to vibrate in one or more directions within the plane of the blade.

Abstract: A uniquely identifiable consumable product for use in a histology or cellular pathology process for processing a biological sample from a source, the consumable product having a unique identifier which is not linked to the source of the sample is provided. By applying a unique identifier to cassettes and other consumable products prior to use, laboratory printers for printing identification information on tissue processing cassettes and on microscope slides and the like are redundant. The unique identifier is then linked to information relating to the sample to be analysed and its source. The physical process of applying a unique identifier to the consumables prior to use enables the decoupling of the physical printing of the consumable from information relating to the source of the sample obviates the need for provision of a printing capability for consumables in laboratories.
