To whom it concerns
My company for 30 years have sold refurbished vip tissue processor
The refurbishment was not done properly your ceramics Value must have small cracks in it allowing chemical to creep into other chemicals on process
If u bought this vip from a reputable service company it should be under warranty

>> Hi Histo World,
>>
>> HELP!! Mid December our VIP 5 went down. I work in a GI lab with a workload of 300 daily. Our lab obtained another refurbished VIP 5. But now we are starting to see the same symptoms as we seen on our old VIP before it went down. Some of the symptoms are formalin carry over (formalin level goes down after each run), our 95 w/eosin is carrying over to all solutions all the way to the paraffin. Now our small GI bx are starting to feel unfixed and has patchy staining. Has anyone dealt with any of these issues?
>> We maintenance our VIP weekly and change all solutions and all paraffins Once a month we do our warm water flush. Below is our set up
>>
>> 1st level: Formalin, Formalin, 70%, 80%, 95% w/eosin,
>> 2nd level: 100,100, 100, xylene, xylene
>> 3rd level: cleaning xylene, cleaning alcohol, water, empty, fume con. water
