[Histonet] Tissue Processors Reviews

[Angela Hall]

Elise,
 
We have used a Sakura VIP 6 since 2010 and seem to have very little trouble with it.  Specimens process very well.  It's very user friendly, in my opinion. 

As far as problems, the yearly PM was last week and necessitated in one day of downtime due to a problem with the pump.  Our PM tech had the part overnighted and the processor was fixed the next day.  OH, funny story, the first year that we had it, someone sprayed the screen with Windex causing an issue with the screen.
