I have been a user of the Xpress for four + years. You first have to decie what is the primary reason to move to rapid tissue processing. Do you require continuous load or batch loading? do you require loading w/out a clanining cylcle? my experience has directed me to using the Xpress because you can coninually load cassettes w/out waiting for a cleaning cycle to complete before loading another set of cassettes. I recommend the Xpress for the cotinuing load capability.
