We also use the DRS2000. We also had the DRS (previous model), an older version. We have been told by several cytotechs and inspectors that it's good laboratory practice to not stain gyn or non-gyn (body fluids) slides in the same containers as histo slides. There is the potential to transfer cytology material unto the histo slides and vice versa. So- we then purchased at considerable expense carriers that housed 6 stations and changed the carriers as we did the various stains. This was for the older version. We had 3 carriers for each of the 3 staining runs. The 2 paps (gyn, non-gyn) each had a carrier, and the H&E had a carrier. So throughout the day we kept changing the carriers according to the run needing to be stained, (alot of hassle). Since our numbers went up we now have two SAKURA's, and stain the non-gyn manually.
Hope this helps.

	Hi,
	     I use a Sakura DRS2000. It has a continuous or one at a time
	staining run. The DRS2000 stains two racks at a time (40slides).
	You are only limited by the number of basket adapters you have. (they
	are not cheap, I have 5 and that seems to handle what we do each day)
