Hello, Sarah:
	They still are a Tissue-Tek product and are available through the following
distributors:
VWR - 800/932-5000
Allegiance - 800/964-5227
Government Scientific Sources -800/248-8030

	The Sakura product number for the Mega-Cassette is #4173, the base mold is
#4166.
You may give the distributor with the Sakura part number and they will be
able to cross-reference with their own
catalog number.        You can obtain pricing information from the
distributor.   You may also call Sakura at the number
listed below my signature and choose the menu option "1" for customer
service.  That department will be able to provide you
with the list price of the product.

Kind Regards,
Nancy
