[Histonet] Tissue processors

[Sherwood, Margaret]

To all:
 
Sorry to bother the list with a question that has no doubt been addressed in the
past, but now that we are looking into possibly replacing our tissue processor,
I would like some input.  It no longer is covered by a service contract and
things are starting to go wrong with it.  We have a Hypercenter XL
(ThermoShandon).  
 
We are a core pathology lab for a research group.  Typically we run @ 1000-1500
paraffin blocks/year, so we are looking at a processor that would meet our
needs.  We have limited space, so something, size-wise, like the Hypercenter XL
would be required.
 
What do most people prefer?  If you would like to contact me off-list, my email
is below.
 
Thanks!
Peggy
