Very consistant, easy to use. 2 drawbacks
1. We got the decontamination add-on trying to automate the CAP requirement, but now it seems Thermo says it is not an adequate process. I believe they are doing more intense studies, but for the time being, I have to decontaminate it by hand. 2. OCT and tissue scraps build up under collection device and cause the mechanism to "clunk" unless buildup is removed. These two things add a good chunk of time to my day.
