[Histonet] Tissue-Tek Xpress x50

[Della Speranza, Vinnie]

While I respect your opinion Sue, when you are employed by a company that markets the very products that you are recommending, you have a responsibility to the Histonet members to inform them of this fact so that they can decide how they wish to interpret your remarks. You should also be aware that vendors are not permitted to sell or promote their products on Histonet and many have been flamed for attempting to do so.

As a histotech you are free to express your professional opinions about the Pathos but I think it best that you be upfront about your affiliations with Milestone.

I also want to be clear that my remarks are not intended to leave any impressions, pro or con, about either the Pathos or the Xpress instruments.

Hi Della,

Yes, my current company is handling / selling histopathology products. I am now working on a project with all pathologists who are evaluating both Xpess and Pathos.

Regardless of my company's partnership with Milestone, I used to be a histo technologist too for 4 years and that is the reason why I have personally chosen Pathos over Xpress. The software is far more flexible and user's not being "lock" with any special reagents. In order word, its an open system so no worries ..

Everyone should really play with Pathos to bring histology to the next level.

Sue

Sue, what is your affiliation with Milestone?
Isn't your company a partner with Milestone?

Hi Everyone,

I suggest you should try Pathos, microwave processor from Milestone. It is much superior in processing quality which I have tested it myself. It has a delay start feature allowing an overnight processing using microwave technology so no worries of overheating the samples.

Trust me it is so wonderful. You may want to visit: http://www.milestonemed.com/microwave.php

The last retort is a heated, empty "bath"........you should NOT leave the tissue there for very long at all.

Both Xpress models have been engineered to process in a continuous flow of cassettes not for overnight (delayed) processing. Perhaps you could leave the cassettes in the last retort, but I am not sure about that nor it is recommended, and it would defeat the design of the instrument.

  Hi,
Is anyone using the Tissue-Tek Xpress x50 out there? Do you like it? Can you do traditional overnight processing or is it only for rapid processing? Any feed back would be helpful...
