[Histonet] Automated H&E stainers

[Cathy]

Have you had any problems with the Coverslipper?  We purchased the Prisma
with linked Coverslipper last March and have had on going problems with the
Coverslipper jamming with error code -Motor ejector error E15.  We have
contacted Somagen and were told that this is normal.  It is happening at
least once a day and sometimes more.  We love the stainer and if the
Coverslipper wasn't jamming we would love it just as much.

What do you do with the coverslipped slides?  We find that they don't dry as
quickly as they did on the older film Coverslipper.  We don't have a vented
sign out area so they are staying on the carousel until they are mostly dry.

Brett,

We purchased the Tissue Tek PRISMA with the attached film coverslipper a
year ago and LOVE IT!! Was a little nervous switching from the glass
coverslips to the film, but the docs love the slides and we have had no
problems.  Very easy to use and we like the fact that we can file the
slides the same day without having to wait for them to "dry".
