Carol, K7 biosystems / Estigen instruments is what you heard about. We bought ours from K7 last summer but apparently Estigen has taken over their operations of TMA equipment.

It came to my attention today, from a reliable source at a university.... that Beecher has gone out of business...( after buying Chemicon's arrayer...and taking away the only real alternative). I have heard from the same reliable source they may be purchased by a foreign investor...my prayer is that perhaps that could be Leica! Does anyone have more info on this? I wonder what this means for those who already have one.....at least I am on the wait list! We have tried several manual systems from molds to punches....and there seems no real competition from these, which are difficult to control or expensive to use. What is the word out there....suggestions for us "wait-ors".....
