[Histonet] Conventional Tissue Processors

[Bell, Lynne]

We are in the process of purchasing a new tissue processor to replace an aging Tissue-Tek VIP E300.  I would love to have opinions on the following processors - Leica ASP300 S,   Shandon Excelsior ES, and Tissue-Tek VIP 6.  Obviously, reliability is the utmost concern.  I would also like to know from those in the New England area how service is for any of these processors.

Thank you,
