[Histonet] Cryostats

[Cheryl Crowder]

We and our anatomy department is looking for a new cryostat.  We would 
like some input on the different brands.  Anatomy has looked at the 
Brite OTF5000HS, with the 5040 microtome.  It is terribly expensive.  We 
have been looking at the Leica and Sakura.  However, we haven't looked 
at the Thermo yet or other brands.  Can any of you help us get a handle 
on what's out there.  We will be doing all types of tissues, 
particularly fat and/or skin.  Thank you, Cheryl
