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

If you use anything often enough, it is wise to have a back-up, if possible.
Microtomes, and especially cryostats, tend to malfunction without warning and
can leave you stranded. We have a back-up that isn't ours, but we have access
to it. That's another option. Make friends with someone else
We have two back ups! :)
We also have back up tissue processors and microtomes as well.

theirs in case of a
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
Unfortunately what you describe is irreversible. Try to get sections, treat
them as gently as you can, and move on to the next batch of cases making sure
that this does not happen again.Request understanding from your pathologists
with this batch.

Hi Histonet,
I regularly do MSB stains with homemade solutions. Both the Martius yellow and
the methyl blue seem to have a good longevity (they are 9 months old now and
I've put at least 250 slides through them) and I expect them to go strong for
another while.
The crystal ponceau 6R is a
I think one of the most important things to have a back-up for is a processor.
