[Histonet] Does anyone have and use Shandon Excelsior EX

[Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF]

I have had one for a few years now and love it.  You can also monitor it
from another location if you have analog internet.   It is really easy
to change out the reagents and is way less messy than most other
processors.  You need to make sure your reagents stay topped off.  The
only real problems I have had with it is a Pathologist loading it wrong
and not setting it down on the tongs correctly and breaking my basket
that the cassettes set into.  
That was kind of a nightmare.  I had to retrain the Pathologist.

Hi all,

According to the advertisement, this is supposed to be the most
histotech friendly processor. Does anyone have a comment?
