[Histonet] back up cryostat

2012-09-21 Thread Barbara.Crill
I would like to know what the consensus is on having a backup cryostat.
Does anyone have a back up cryostat?

I am nervous about not having a backup cryostat

In the Navy, we had a saying Two is one, one is none If the cryostat
is something you depend on, it will go down unexpectedly. You need two.
The backup doesn't need to be new. Also you could have a relationship
with a nearby hospital or MOHS lab that would allow you to utilize
theirs in case of a sudden breakdfown. We have a backup that probably
only gets used every 18 months, but it allows us to break down the main
one for cleaning and still have the peace of mind that we are still up
is a frozen should be needed. Good Luck - Bill

Due to our work volume we used to have 3 cryostats, so there was always a 
backup.
Your decision on this subject should rest on your work volume. If it is not 
that heavy what you can always do is to coordinate with a near by lab to use 
theirs in an emergency.
Nowadays cryostats are very reliable and very expensive so this is an 
investment to ponder cautiously.
