We have two back ups!  :)

We also have back up tissue processors and microtomes as well.

 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

I think one of the most important things to have a back-up for is a processor.
