[Histonet] tissue processors

[John Baker]

Hello Histoworld,  What processors are people using to process bone or soft tissue samples for plastic?  Do any of your processors allow for use of the monomer in the processor before embedding?  What are your opinions, pro or cons, on the Tissue- Tek VIP5 or 6, the Leica ASP300, or the Thermo Pathcentre units?  Hearing yours experiences in using them is greatly appreciated!  My best,  John
