Hi fellow netters;

            It's great to have somewhere to go for help and advice; I've
learned alot from you all
            the last few months.
  
            Now I need some help myself.  Here's my dilemma:  We are in the
process of 
            designing a new lab.  Histology/Cytology will be moved to
another floor that will
            be remodeled for us.  I am looking for a way to ventilate as
much equipment and
            processes as possible, without overkill and a lot of expense.  I
have a gross station
            that is ventilated and a cytoprep hood, I want to include a sink
too.  Are new labs
            venting FS staining and cryostat?  I also need to cover manual
staining set-ups for
            H&E and PAP, microwave, and coverslipping.  Any suggestions for
a sensible and
            economical solution?  That's around 30 feet of bench space.  I
don't want to see
            wall to wall hoods, or have to wear lead-weighted shoes to keep
me from being
            sucked up into an exhaust system!   Any help is appreciated.
