I waited all my life for a VIP and I finally got one about 6 years ago and I just love it. I do animal tissue and have several different types of programs on the VIP (different embryo stages, different animal species brains, plants, insects, and routine too!)

>> Hi,
>> I am looking for a reasonably-priced tissue processor for a research facility.  We only process mouse tissue (100-200/day), and rapid processing is not something that is necessary.  If possible, we would like the option of using isopropyl alcohol for processing.  We currently have 2 Sakura VIPs that we are happy with, however, they are old and could go at any time.  Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
