[Histonet] Conventional Tissue Processors

[DKBoyd <@t> chs.net]

We have 2 Shandon Excelsiors.  We absolutely love them.  Great processing 
and the time saved by not having to rotate reagents is wonderful.  We have 
had very little problems with ours.  One is 6 years old and the other is 
1.5 years old.  The older one has had a few problems that we have 
attributed to the move (when we moved from an old facility to a new one).  
The new one hasn't had any problems.
Hope this helps.

[Histonet] Conventional Tissue Processors






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,
