[Histonet] Grossing Stations

[Robert Chiovetti]

Kathy,

Are you smelling formalin in the lab?  If so, check the condition of the filter, or check when the last time the filter was changed.  The filters in the Mopec self-contained ventilation systems contain potassium iodide to trap formalin vapors.  Maybe the filter is exhausted.

Just a thought...

We have a 600 Mopec grossing station also but we are having some problem 
with the ventilation.  Is your self contained or is it vented into your 
hospital vent system?  Our's is self contained.  Is anyone having the same 
problem or have any suggestions?  Thanks

When we remodeled our lab, we put in Mopec grossing stations. The
company is great to work with. The stations can be built to suit your
needs. We have one, I believe it is the 600, that is height adjustable.
The other unit is stationary. Ventilation works well on both. Would
highly recommend Mopec.

All,
  We are considering purchasing two large grossing stations with some
extra options.   Can any of you recommend the grossing stations that you
would prefer.  We would like the grossing station to last for a
reasonable amount of time, be sturdy in construction, offer options that
can be added later but also be user friendly with enough shelf space and
work area. Most importantly the ventilation must be of high quality.  We
have several companies that we are looking at but would like to get an
idea of what most folks are using and if you are happy with the units or
not.  If you could also tell us what features you liked.
   Thank you in advance,
