[Histonet] Input on Sakura E150 Purchase

[Burton, Lynn]

We have a Sakura tissue processor that is more than 25 years old and still working very well with annual preventative maintenance.

Another +1 for the VIP E300 (very similar model).  We have one that's close to 20 years old that's still running.  It has an annual PM and any repairs have been minor.  I have been told that part availability isn't yet an issue with this model.

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!
