Happy Friday Eve,

We use the Sakura glas2 cover slipper.  We run hundreds of slides through them every day with very few problems. 

Any automated coverslipper can have issues.  A word of warning- watching the g2 do its thing is hypnotic.

This is the only one that can be integrated with our stainer, so we know we'll have to get a standalone unit and transfer slides to a new rack.
