[Histonet] Tissue Tek VIP 3000

[Patrick Laurie]

Hi Mike,

We have two of the VIP 3000's, they are true workhorses.  One of ours is
from 1969 and still processing without any issues.  Make sure that you do
have a company nearby that can work on them.  You can still find parts for
them, I tend to only get parts that are used though.  I don't know if
Sakura makes new parts.

Good luck!

Patrick
