[Histonet] cryostats

[O'Brien, Sue]

Kathleen, I did choose a Leica, and am very satisfied with it. At the time
(96) it was the only one with what I felt were great safety features (e.g.
vacuum assist for removing tissue shavings) combined with ease of use. I can
only say we've had no problems, and I have been very happy with the unit
(it's lived up to its promotional material). Regards,
