Hi Histonetters,
In an attempt to be forward thinking and budget for what we need, I am looking for information on the average lifespan (or how often it should be replaced) of individual pieces of histology equipment such as processors, microtomes , stainers, embedding centers and the like. Has anyone compiled info that they would be willing to share? I realize that vendors have specific info for their instruments but, I am looking for generalized information. By the way, I am still using VIP K tissue processor that is more than 30 years old!!! Thanks in advance, Karla Carlmas Dermatopathology Northwest 2330 130th Ave NE Ste. 201 Bellevue, WA 98005 ka...@dermatopathologynorthwest.com _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
