[Histonet] Leica CV5030 coverslipper issues

[Pam Marcum]

We also have the person taking care of the coverslipper change the brush daily and keep the one in use wet with xylene several times a day.  This seems to expand the life of the dispensing needle and keep it from bending or breaking.  We are doing everything else suggested and the problems are gone.  We have a couple of repair issues however; that were small and quickly fixed.

We had a bunch of issues with our 5030 coverslipper that have largely 
been resolved with the following "top tips"!: 

a)      Making sure that the coverslips we load into the machine are not 
statically-charged  (they don't lie flat against each other - the pile 
feels "springy").  The brand we use only has occasional boxes of 100 
coverslips like this, we just use them for hand-mounting instead. 

b)      Scrupulous housekeeping (clean any DPX/glass splinters away 
regularly)
