[Histonet] embedding centers

[Rene J Buesa]

As you correctly point out, all are of similar configuration and foot-print. All use the same technology (a cooling area, a heating bath and a hot compartment).
As to reliability TissueTek if the best for me. There are some more than 25 years old still providing a good and reliable service.

Hello histonetters!

I know this has been asked before, but there's not much in the recent archives.  I'd like to see what everyone thinks is now the best paraffin embedding center.  They all seem very similar now, and I don't see any one instrument that looks much different from the others.  My primary concern is reliability and long working life, but of course I would also like an instrument that is user friendly, ergonomic and affordable.  Please let me know if you have a very good experience with any embedding center or especially if anyone has had a particularly bad experience and let me know any features that you find spectacular or useless.  Thanks for the advice!
