About every 6 run for rotations and 12 runs for a full change out. But we also have another processor as well.

We have a Sakura VIP6. Should the schedule of changing be based on number of runs vs. number of blocks processed? About 80% of our blocks are small GI biospies. Thanks in advance for your input.
