[Histonet] Tissue Processors

[Boyd, Debbie M]

Excelsior>  Great workhorse.  Very little to no down time.  Less tech time needed as reagents dump and rotate automatically.  User friendly.

Hi Everyone:

I am currently evaluating three tissue processors.
They are the Sakura VIP6, the Leica ASP 6025, and the Thermo-Fisher Excelsior ES.

I was wondering if people could give me their critical opinions and preferences on these three machines.
In addition to reliability and ease of use,  I am interested in people's experience with tech support, software, or any other factor-positive or negative-that prompted your decision.
I currently have a 14 year old Shandon Hypercenter XP.

Thank you,
