[Histonet] RE: VIP mix setting and use

[Goins, Tresa]

We use the SLOW exchange setting on all stations.  The FAST occurs twice as often and I didn't want the tissue specimens to be "high and dry" that many times during processing.  I want an Excelsior . . . . .

Subject: [Histonet] VIP mix setting and use

For those Histo Guru's who have the VIP tissue processors with the "mix" setting of Continuous, slow and fast, what is your perception of the benefit of using one over the another? What tissues would you use a particular setting? Why would you NOT use a particular setting?

I know the details of the setting timings, but the question came up as to why one would use continuous vs slow or fast, besides matching the timing to the reagent cycle time. Any insights will be appreciated!

Thanks!
