[Histonet] coverslippers

[Setlak, Lisa]

We have the tape coverslipper from Sakura and have had it for years.... we love it. Yo need to make sure when you change the tape that it is allowed to sit out of the package for a little while. We put one on the machine and open a new one and let it sit out- but I think overnight is fine. It's very low maintenance.

Hi Everyone!

Our small core is looking into getting a coverslipper and I was wondering the 
following things:

1) Which company did you get yours from?
2) Is there a difference between glass vs. plastic? (thinking of allowing people 
who do IHC/IMF to use it too)
3) What are the pros and cons of your machine?

The world of coverslippers is huge and I'm just getting into the 
automation---FINALLY!! Would love to hear from the experienced!

Thanks so much for all of your help in advance!  I truly appreciate it!
