Dear Colleagues, We are in the process of opening a new lab and are looking for a rapid processor, preferably non-microwave, and a standard processor for backup. At present I have been looking into the Thermo STP420 with an Excelsior backup. My concerns are that I have heard some very negative feedback on the Excelsior.
Can anyone tell me their experiences, good or bad, with both the STP420 and the Excelsior? If you are using, or have used either one I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. In addition, we are considering alternatives that include the Peloris by Leica. It is somewhat more costly at current time and thus the reason for Thermo STP420 to be in the lead on this one. Should we use the Excelsior as backup givin its reagent savings, or go with the VIP 6? Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
