[Histonet] RE: Equipment selection

[Horn, Hazel V]

We have the Leica stainer and coverslipper and we like it.  The only drawback to our stainer is it only has 1 oven.  But the stainer and the coverslipper have been reliable and are easy to operate.    We have the Leica Bond for immunos and we love it!  It's user friendly, very reliable and we have many options for antibody vendors.   Leica is a great company for support.

Subject: [Histonet] Equipment selection

Hi all,

I am trying to decide on what equipment to purchase. I have picked the processor, microtomes, embedding centers and a few other pieces, but now I still need to decide on the H&E Stainer and the immunostainer. My options I have in front of me are for the H&E stainer are Sakura Prisma stainer/film coverslipper and the Leica ST5020-CV5030 stainer/glass coverslipper. For the Immunostainer, I am looking at the Dako Autostainer and the Leica Bond Max. Any advice on any of these instruments would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to finalize my decision pretty quickly. Thank you in advance for any input.
