Re: [Histonet] Disposal of used lab equipment
Email has been down for several days, so if someone has already answered this, sorry. If anyone wants to donate used (in working order) equipment to a NAACLS-accredited histotech program, it would be appreciated. Also any supplies that you are no longer using (dry dye powdered because you have gone automated, cassettes because they don't fit your new labeler or you no longer use that color, etc.). You can ask the Schools to write you out a receipt, and you can say how much the equipment or supplies are worth. At our hospital, as a non-profit, we are to donate to the community - man hours, supplies, copying, etc. for things like career days, job fairs, donating used equipment to World Relief, etc. We have a form on line that we can fill out. Here's the search site for NAACLS programs. Under Program Type, highlight either HT or HTL. You can put in a specific state, or your can leave it as All. http://naacls.org/search/programs.asp Remember, it has to be in good condition and usable. Schools don't have money to begin with, and definitely do not have money to dispose of someone else's junk. Peggy A.

RE: [Histonet] Disposal of used lab equipment
We have the following equipment:
=
Leica TP1050 (Ti= ssue Processor)
Dako Autostainer (48 = slide capacity, unsure of software version)
RMC Products MR3 Automated microtome
Fisher Scientific IsoTemp oven
2 Ventanna Benchmark XT
I just took over as lab manager a couple = of months ago and I'm not
sure if all of the above are operational. I do kn= ow that the
Benchmark XTs do work and the Leica TP1050 does not work.
Price is VERY negotiable.

I think that if you contact the NSH they will have the addresses of some labs in the Third World that I am sure will be more than happy of accepting your old instruments that maybe they are like new for them.
