[Histonet] Tissue Processors

[Cynthia Pyse]

I have both a Thermo-Fisher Excelsior and a Sakura VIP6. Both work well but
I prefer the Excelsior. There is less hands on time for changing reagents,
flushing and cleaning. I did have problems at first with the VIP. Since
Sakura replaced the gate valve all has been great. If I need to replace
either machine I would purchase the Excelsior. This is just my opinion, I'm
sure other out there may disagree with me.
Everyone out there in Histoland have a safe, healthy Thanksgiving.

Does anyone have the Thermo Shandon Excelsior or the Leica ASP300 S tissue
processors?  What do you like or not like about the one you have?  Thanks
