OK,
Here's the Cryo Embedder info:
 
The Vendor is:
Belaire Instruments 1-973-912-8900
 
Contact is:
Sheila Skolnick ext 112
 
Price is:
$1695.00 
When ordering, there is no cat #. 
It's ordered as a "Complete Cryo-Embedder Package"
 

I've been doing Mohs for years and have used all of the old methods and used the cryo embedder at my last job for 2yrs. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread.  If you want to make sure those epi's are down, then this is the way to go....It's very easy to use and a great tool when training new techs.
 
Good luck and I hope I've been some help.

I've done both of those methods. I used the cyro embedder at a mohs lab here for 2 yrs. It's the next best thing to sliced bread and is great for getting those epi's down. I will get the vendor info and cat # and post it on the net today. The last one I bought cost appx $1600.00 but was well worth it when I had to start training new tech from within the office.

Does anyone else freeze the tissue to a glass slide to get it embedded
flat?  That's how I've been show and it seems to work well.

I've used plastic embedding molds too, but they don't always give me a
flat
surface.
