It all depends on how long you want to store the slides. The tape has a tendency to come off, whereas the glass slides, if covered properly, can be stored "indefinitely". The glass coverslippers have improved quite a bit, and there are several vendors out there who have them. We have one here, and we love it! 
As far as xylene substitutes, you may want to check about this with the vendor.

I'd love to know too. We also use a xylene substitute.

Hello all!

We are budgeted to get an automated coverslipper for our department. 
When we talked about it with our service rep, he asked if we wanted a glass or tape coverslipper.  I worked with a glass one many years ago when they first came out and all I remember is breaking and sticking coverslips.  I'm sure things have improved by now and was wondering about the pros and cons of the glass versus tape coverslipper.  Which do you prefer and why?


Thank you!
