Hi, Linda!
	Well...I based my volume of monomer on the "fixative standard".
That is, 15 -20 volumes of monomer for every volume of tissue.  Now this is
not a scientific study - but it seems to work well for me.  Yes, Technovit
7200 is pricey but I can reuse it MANY times by using the following
procedure:
1. Place  up to 30 cassettes in large glass desiccator.  Add 2 - 3 bottles
of Technovit 7200(enough to cover the specimens with 2-3 inches of monomer.
Add a large magnetic stir bar and attach vacuum lid.
2.  Place desiccator on magnetic stir plate.
3.  Attach desiccator to vacuum and pull vacuum until you see bubbles rise
from the surface of the monomer.
4. Turn on magnetic stirrer to a moderate speed.
5.  Cover ENTIRE desiccator with a light proof cloth.  ***This, of course,
keeps the light-curing Technovit 7200 from polymerizing.
6.  For cross sections of undecalcified goat femur, I infiltrate for seven
days, changing the solution once after 48 hours.
7.  The Technovit 7200 is filtered and returned to its original brown
bottle and labeled with the date of its use.
	I have some solutions that are almost two years old and
infiltrating just fine!  The best part is when you polymerize with the
Technovit 7200 in 8 hours instead of 2 days to 2 weeks with
methylmethacrylate.
	I also heard that some Canadian people were using the Technovit
7200 in the Shandon automatic processor with fantastic results.
	Hope this helps!
	Linda
