[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 161, Issue 2, "SURVEY"

Sun Apr 2 13:42:30 CDT 2017

In our GI Laboratory we have both and we do between 35 and 55 blocks per day. I would not want to have to choose between the both.

I would get a "new" Auto stainer because the quality of your stained slides would be more consistent and be easier to assess for QC purposes.

I would get a "used" Tissue-Tek coverslip machine because it is a work horse tank and rarely has problems and would increase productivity by 5x over doing hand coverslips as well as reduce the chemical hazards exposure to the Tech.

I have seen so many more problems with auto coverslippers, they break down, the cover does not hold up over time for archiving, etc., that I would would probably chose an autostainer.

Personally I will prefer auto coverslipper, because cover slipping is
cumbersome and takes time.

Staining is a more complex step than coverslipping. Also a coverslip on a section has more "latitude" and can, if necessary, be removed and coverslip in a different way. A stained section, on the other hand, is almost impossible to "correct". Between an autostainer and a coverslipper, I would choose an autostainer.Ren?
