overkill.
I wondered if anyone was familiar with this cryostat, had any comments or
suggestions for other machines.
Thanks,
Bill

Follow-up. The zero-stat gun seems to be around $150.00 most everywher.
But it does work and will last for years.

Eric,
I agree with Liz. There are several environmental controls that could be
put in place to help with expose to xylene. Many of these controls
would cost far less than a coverslipper - so mention the health, but put
your eggs in the productivity/cost-saving basket. -

Greetings,
We are wanting to switch to a Masson's Trichrome method in our lab. Is
anyone aware of a good source for a commercially prepared staining kit?

If the margin is grossly close, then re-excision without a frozen is
entirely appropriate.

The response by M. Mihalik nails the problem. Anything that is batched
(cassette labeling, slide labeling, case labeling) is known to be high
risk for mistakes even though it may seem to be more "efficient."
On-demand-labeling is the key to significantly reducing identification
erro
. OCT and tissue scraps build up under collection device and cause the
mechanism to "clunk" unless buildup is removed.
These two things add a good chunk of time to my day.
