I've had experience with several glass coverslippers over the years. While I've not tried the newest/latest/greatest of other brands, I've been running the Sakura Glas coverslipper for 8 years without a hitch. It has been very dependable, with little downtime, and extremely easy maintenance. We have averaged less than 1 service call per year since purchase, outside of the annual pm. At the time we purchased it, it had the shortest set up and routine maintenance of the 4 big players that we tried. It is definitely a more sensitive system than the tape. All glass systems are less forgiving of technical error than tape, but the results are fabulous. We coverslip using only 24 X 50, so avoid the hassles of changing sizes. I hope this will help. Sincerely, Terri

(Cooper, Brian) Message: 3 Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 20:35:37 +0000 From: "Cooper, Brian" <bcoo...@chla.usc.edu> Hey Histonet! What's the best automatic glass coverslipper out there? I only have experience with the Sakura tape slipper, which is AWESOME, but alas, we can't get one here. Space is definitely an issue; would love to hear your experiences! Thanks, Brian D.
