In my experience with the Leica coverslipper, I have to hand coverslip all
Ventana slides. It throws more than it coverslips. I have tried running them
down quickly and avoiding Xylene on the labels, but that works only marginally
better.

Hi all,
I wanted to ask if any of you out there are currently using an automated
coverslipper and do not have issues with the forks picking up the slides if
they have Ventana labels on them. I have used a Leica and had only very
occasionally a dropped slide. Is this your experience as well? Are there other
units that would work well for this?
Feel free to contact me off list if you need to.
Thanks!
