[Histonet] Number of blocks before a processor change???

[Rene J Buesa]

I always counted the number of blocks processed per run. When my VIP reached its maximum (e.g. 300 blocks), I changed all the alcohols of less than 100%, and moved "down" the 100EthOL, the xylenes and the paraffins (meaning eliminating the first 100 EthOL, xylene and paraffin, and replacing the last).

Hello:

We currently change our processors every 5 runs. 

I am thinking it would be more cost and time effective to count the number of blocks before doing a change. If you count your blocks could you share with me at what number you do a change. We run all types of tissues.
We use a gallon of reagent in each position. Vip5.

Thanks in advance. :)
