[Histonet] EM tissue processors

[Sherwood, Margaret]

I haven't done so; usually manually process samples.  But, lately, I have a lot of specimens to process for TEM.  Would appreciate you sharing your findings with the list.  I might like to think about automation at this stage.

Thanks!

Subject: [Histonet] EM tissue processors

Hi,
I'm comparing operating costs relative to features/benefits of automatic
EM tissue processors (e.g. Leica, RMC, Lynx,.) with or without microwave
and was wondering if anyone else had already done the same. I'd like to
compare total costs per specimen and relative advantages/disadvantages
of each system. I'm looking at the cost of consumables, reagents and
labor separately and am also interested in reliability, efficiency and
ease-of-use.
I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone has information they can share.
Feel free to contact me at the address below if you have questions.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Tom
