Amy,
     They work fairly well.  You have to be careful and follow the 
     directions on the prefilled sleeve when loading them.  There are a 
     number of tabs you must pull off in the labeled order or you'll have 
     cassettes all over the floor.  When I last ordered they only had the 
     color white available in the prefilled containers and no biopsy 
     cassettes.  Hopefully by now they have more colors ready to go in that 
     format.
     Good luck!

We were wondering if anyone has had any experience and/or comments about 
the prefilled cassette hoppers from TBS Shurmark.  Any comments good or
        bad would be appreciated!
