[Histonet] Stainer/coverslipper question

[Connolly, Brett M]

Hello all,

We are looking at options for automated stainer/glass coverslipper workstations.

I browsed the Histonet archives and see many varied love/hate responses from over the years about reliability, need to babysit, bubbles etc. and I am wondering if things have improved as many past inquiries were fairly old.

>From the archives, it seems that Lieca ST5020/CV5030 and the Sakura (Tissue-Tek) Prisma/Glas g2 are the main players.

Our H&E workload is highly varied, but we want to also use the workstation for dehydrating and coverslipping our immuno slides that come off our IHC stainer in H2O.

I would appreciate your recommendations/experiences.

Thanks much,
Brett
