[Histonet] stainer v. stainer

[Perl , Alison]

Hi all
We are getting ready to purchase a new H&E stainer/coverslipper, and are considering the Sakura Prisma Plus (tape) and the Leica Spectra (glass). Does anyone have good or bad feedback on either instrument, and/or tape v. glass? We've always had glass, but of course the coverslippers need more maintenance, take longer to dry, more expensive than tape, etc etc. So we are very interested in tape, but still a little hesitant about the old problems of yellowing and peeling after 10+ years. Since we're in NY, we have to keep all slides for 20 years....

Any thoughts are appreciated!
