[Histonet] Input on Sakura E150 Purchase

[Elizabeth Chlipala]

I have a VIP 300 from 1998 and it's still going strong.  We have had a few repairs over the years the most recent having to replace the pump, its 16 years old and still functioning fine.  As far as I am concerned it’s a reliable unit, we use it frequently.

Hello Histonet,

Does anyone have input on the Sukura E150 tissue processor? Our research lab is looking at purchasing a used model from Rankin Biomedical, but we were concerned about the age of the unit, 17 years old. They mentioned it is totally refurbished, will give a one year warranty, say it’s a reliable unit, and parts are available for servicing. 

Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Like so many we are on a limited budget so we can’t buy new. Thank you in advance!
