[Histonet] RE: Purchasing machines Grossing Work Station,Microtom etc.

[Vicki Gauch]

We have the Shandon Gross Lab Senior as the grossing station in our
Frozen Section/Grossing Room and love it.  The adjustable height feature
has been very useful since we have residents and technical staff ranging
from 5'2" to 6'0"...so everyone can work at a height that is comfortable
for them . The hands free sensor sytem for turning on the water in the
sink, the disposal unit and surface rinse are also wonderful.   The
ventilation is a downdraft system and works really well- we never smell
formalin fumes when using that station.  I would recommend this unit and
when we get to replace our other grossing stations we are most likely to
be getting more of the Gross Lab Senior.
 Hope that helps,
