[Histonet] Excelsior ES Tissue Processor

[Jessica Piche]

Good Morning:
 
Our lab is looking into getting a new processor at some point!  We are looking at the Excelsior ES Tissue Processor from Thermo Scientific. We were wondering if any of you Histol labs out there are using this machine and if so how you like it? Have you had any problems with it, ie. mechanical?  Is it saving you money? and also is anyone using the machine with the xylene free option? 
 
Thanks so much! Have a great day!
