Hi Paula,
Since I work at a teaching hospital, there are several reseachers who have
cryostats.   My pathologist talked to one the researchers (the one closest
in  proximity (sp) to us) and worked out a deal for us to use his if in fact
both of our cryostats were down at the same time.    Maybe this could work
for you?
