[Histonet] ASP300S or VIP 6

[ian bernard]

Rachel, thanks for the question.  For us, our reagent cost is comparable
other than now we have another processor so will have to acquire more
reagents to support both since we plan on running them both daily.  However,
another feature with the ASP 300 is that owing to the Reagent Management
System our reagents can last 3 times longer than reagent we used on the
VIP-5, per our protocol.  It also has a paraffin cleaning system. Where it
removes residue clearing agent from the paraffin thus preserving the life of
the paraffin as well.

And, in case all are wondering, I am not a spoke person for Leica or the
ASP300S. Just a happy and practical customer with his new equipment.

James, we have both the VIP-5 and Leica ASP300S.  While the VIP has
sustained us well through the years, notwithstanding, with malfunctions
since it's on its last leg; the ASP 300S was our researched replacement
and/or alternate processor of choice.  Since our validations and use of both
processors in parallel , we are happy to have made the transition to the
ASP-300S. 

It is user friendly, with nice graphics,  and with the operating manual on
the screen and a niche reagent management system as well as the auto fill
feature are excellent options to have.

Buying two automated tissue processors for new lab.   I have always used the
VIP tissue processors, can anyone comment on a side by side comparison
between the Leica and the VIP 6?

thanks
