[Histonet] Sakura service plans

[Morken, Timothy]

Ron, a few considerations"

1) Is there a company in your local area that can do it cheaper? (sakura contracts out the service, so that company may do it cheaper than going thru sakura)
2) Can they be there fast if you need it? At least as fast as the Sakura contractor
3) If you are thinking of going the PO route for each service and PM, a single service will cost almost half the price of an annual priority-service contract that includes a PM.
4) do you have a biomed department that can be trained to do the service?

I was wondering how many of you are using/paying for the service plans for the Sakura/Tissue Tek tissue processor, embedding center and Prisma coverslipper/stainer combo? Are these service plans worth the money? 

Thanks, 

Ron
