Dear Histonetters, We are going to replace our automated stainer (LeicaXL) and coverslipper within the next few months. I would really appreciate any suggestions that people may have about which stainer/coverslipper units they use/used and are happy with.
I am also curious about tape vs glass coverslippers. We have always had glass here, but I know that there are people who love their tape units. I would be willing to look at a tape unit, but I am concerned about long term storage issues. I have seen a few postings lately about the tape coming off of the slides and that scares me! I would appreciate any advice on what brands work well and which ones to avoid, if you are willing to share... If you have any insight that you would like to share, you can post it or e-mail me directly, especially if it is about which units/tapes to avoid. I don't want to vendor bash, so please feel free to email me directly at jennifer.john...@genzyme.com<mailto:jennifer.john...@genzyme.com> Thanks!
