[Histonet] Microwave Tissue Processing with Small Reagent Volumes

2013-08-27 Thread Tom Strader
Hi, We're interested in reducing reagent consumption for microwave TEM processing of animal and plant tissues and have found few references to optimizing reagent volume in the literature. Experiments described are typically carried out in micro-centrifuge tubes or scintillation vials which contain

[Histonet] EM tissue processors

2013-08-01 Thread Tom Strader
Hi, I'm comparing operating costs relative to features/benefits of automatic EM tissue processors (e.g. Leica, RMC, Lynx,.) with or without microwave and was wondering if anyone else had already done the same. I'd like to compare total costs per specimen and relative advantages/disadvantages of eac
