[Histonet] Rapid tissue processors

[Smith, Susan R.]

We are in the process of looking for a rapid tissue processor.  The
one's we are looking at are:

 

Leica Peloris Rapid Tissue Processor

Tissue-Tek Xpress x50 (Sakura)

STP 420D  Tissue Processor (Microm from Richard-Allan Scientific)/Thermo
Fisher Scientific

RHS-1/RHS-2 Rapid Microwave Histoprocessor for specimens up to 5mm
thickness (Milestone)

PATHOS automatic rapid microwave histoprocessor for specimens up to 5mm
thickness (Milestone)

 

I have seen some comments on the Peloris and Tissue-Tek express, but
nothing on the others.  Please give me your in-put.

Thanks,
