[Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/NCID/VR)]

The new Leica allows for 2 or 3 racks of slides to be loaded at once.

I have worked with both tape and glass. Both have had problems and both
have their advantages. Yes, tape is faster and has fewer bubbles, but we
had problems with ours too. We used to have to keep adjusting the flow
of xylene, sometimes several times a day. The tape rolls are really
expensive, and they tend to start peeling away from the slide after a
while and they have to be re-coverslipped again. Glass (Leica) doesn't
really have trouble with bubbles, but sometimes the coverslips stick
together. We don't worry about walking away from it. Drawbacks are that
it does go a bit slower, but still faster than hand coverslipping. Also,
only one rack of slides can be put on at a time.

Hi Histonetters,

I'm demoing this automated glass coverslipper for two weeks. The person
who currently repairs (frequently) my tape coverslippers said "if I
think I have problems  now, moving to a glass coverslipper will be even
worse".

What are your opinions?

Thanks,
Angie
