[Histonet] Slide Clips for Shandon Linistain GLX

[Hugh Luk]

Alan,

I use these too, but I'm not sure what is available.  I found the web address at:

www1.fishersci.com/wps/portal/PRODUCTDETAIL?productId=9097251&catalogId=29103&pos=25&catCode=HC_SC&fromCat=yes&keepSessionSearchOutPut=true&brCategoryId=57660&hlpi=y&fromSearch=
 
is the Fisher Linear stainer (as Fisher bought out ThermoShandon).  Click on accessories.  It appears to list pink, blue and white stainer clips are available for $87.12 (for 25).  I don't know why white is expensive or why green and yellow are not available.

I've been looking at other plastic manufacturers (Simport, Marketlab, ect.), but I have not found another vendor.  I hope this helps and I wish you (us) luck.

> I hope your first supplier isn't Shandon. I do have a part number through them, but don't know how much they are. If anyone else knows of a second supplier, let me know too. I'm in the same boat as Alan. SOMEBODY should still sell these, as they still sell the stainers.
> The part number I have is 6754002. This number should be good as of a couple years ago. These are listed as the while clips, though I think there are green and pink ones too. We don't really care what color they are, just so they work! Don't even get me started on trying to get a replacement chain drive motor... (I think I have that number too if anyone needs it.)

> Hi to everyone in Histoland
> 
> We have a Shandon Linistain GLX that we use for our H & E staining. The problem we have is that the plastic clips used to attach the slides to the chain drive are no longer available. The stubs have broken on many of our clips preventing their attachment to the chain links and rendering them unusable. We depend heavily on this machine for our work and now have only a small supply of useable clips.
> 
> Does anyone know of a possible 'second supplier' source of these clips, anywhere in the world? Or does anyone have any of these clips gathering dust in a store room somewhere that we could use. Any assistance or information would be greatly appreciated.
