[Histonet] Leica H&E 600

[Willis, Donna G]

Good Morning Beth,
The HE600 is a Roche product.  The slides are stained flat with reagents being applied to each slide individually instead of batch staining like other instruments.  This allows you to get the same staining quality on EACH slide.   We have used the instrument in our lab since 2005 and got a second unit when we moved into a larger location 2 years ago.  Coverslips are removed by apply heat from a hot plate and we have no issues with the hematoxylin if we remove a coverslip.  We rarely have issues with coverslips that we need to remove one.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

I would appreciate any feedback from anyone with experience using the Leica H&E 600. I recently attended a demo of the unit and we are still hung up on the large slide tray it uses instead of the traditional slide racks.   I also spoke with another user who indicated that if you need to re-coverslip a slide it is very difficult to remove the existing coverslip and when you do the hematoxylin is removed from the stain ???  We already know we will need two units to handle our workload of approximately 900 H&E.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.
