I deal with a company called Electron Microscopy Sciences for a lot of my
electron microscopy consumables.

A portion of their business is also with Histology products. They do sell a
small (desktop) automated tissue processor. They actually have two models,
the LYNX II and the LYNX el. Both are probably a lot cheaper then a stand
alone system that you mentioned.

Give them a call, they have a great website, perhaps you might like what
they offer instead. I myself have not used these processors, but I have been
a customer of theirs for many years and I very happy with them.

Good Luck, Peggy
