Have you had any problems with the Coverslipper? We purchased the Prisma with linked Coverslipper last March and have had on going problems with the Coverslipper jamming with error code -Motor ejector error E15. We have contacted Somagen and were told that this is normal. It is happening at least once a day and sometimes more. We love the stainer and if the Coverslipper wasn't jamming we would love it just as much.
What do you do with the coverslipped slides? We find that they don't dry as quickly as they did on the older film Coverslipper. We don't have a vented sign out area so they are staying on the carousel until they are mostly dry.

Was a little nervous switching from the glass coverslips to the film, but the docs love the slides and we have had no problems. Very easy to use and we like the fact that we can file the slides the same day without having to wait for them to "dry". Karen Karen L.
