We have 2 Peloris processors and run protocols ranging from 2 hrs to overnight. Several 2 and 4 hour protocols daily keeps a constant flow of specimens moving through the lab for those interested in LEAN small batch processing. As far as programmability, it 's all touch screen driven and easy. It's a smart processor so we don't change all solutions weekly. We only change the ones that are needed. The parameters that determine how long to use a particular solution are also programmable. Changing solutions is done by pumping out of the individual bottles and into waste containers and refilling is pumped from clean containers of solution back into the original containers. No heavy lifting required.
Ours are in a separate room from our microtomy area so we hooked a simple door bell up to the local alarm jack on the back. When processing is done, we get the appropriate tone. Remote alarm is also tied in to the hospital switchboard in case a processor goes down at night or during the weekend. We really like the versatility and dependability of these processors.

Are there any users of the Leica Peloris or Thermo EG who can help us out with some opinions? Reliability, ease of changing solutions, programmability? Thanks for any help. _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
