[Histonet] Film Coverslip

[Carol Fields]

We used Mercedes tape and it worked ok.  It is thicker and one pathologist preferred it.  The drawback was you had to keep the Coverslipper clean or it would get sticky and cause problems.
We had no staining issues.
Have a great weekend.

At previous place of employment we used Statlab's tape - absolutely no problems with stain bleeding or fading, bubbles or peeling of the tape. There were no problems with the coverslipper either.

Of course Sakura is going to warn against using any other product but theirs. Consumables are how they stay in business.

If you are using the Sakura instrument, please do not use other film than Sakura's. It is not only much better but also will allow the coverslipper to work better.Sometimes a cheaper option will be more costly at the end.René

 Good morning, We are considering changing coverslip film for our high volume Sakura Prisma with coverslipper.  We have tested StatLab film and pathologists are fine, and have not seen media build up on the instrument.
Sakura is cautioning against alternatives for lamination and media build-up issues.  Any feedback from Histonetters will be appreciated.
Best and have a great weekend,
Mike
