better mouse spleen cell preps

     For ongoing flow cytometry-based studies we need to prepare single 
     cell suspensions from large numbers of mouse spleens, typically 
     100-150 or more spleens, pooled in groups of 5.  We do this now by 
     mechanical disruption (frosted microscope slides or stainless steel 
     mesh screens and the like). The procedure is, needless to say, tedious 
     and time consuming.  Can anyone suggest better methods or does anyone 
     know of devices that would do the mechanical disruptions on multiple 
     samples (20 - 30) at once?
