[Histonet] RE: H&E Stainer Leica vs Sakura

[Lori White]

Hi Sophia,
I am a big fan of the Prisma stainer. We have two of them - one for routine
staining, linked to the coverslipper and the other is used for Cytology and
some automated special stains.  We have had them for five years with no
problems other than the replacement of the door latches.

Hi,

We are currently looking to switch out our linear MKII stainer for either a
Leica XL autostainer or the Sakura Tissue-Tek Prisma. Any recommendations?
Are quantity of H&Es is increasing and we need adequate equipment to meet
our workload. The incorporated oven seems excellent on both stainers. Any
pros/cons would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you are currently using
the stainer, does it meet your workload and what is your volume?

Thanks!

Sophia
