Hi Thomas, Are you looking for true life expectancy or what is reported for depreciation? In my experience, most tissue processors never die, but only need to be retired due to lack of available support/parts or because a lab requires newer technology.
Also in my experience, a "better" model comes out soon after I have purchased one. So the life span is probably 20 years after you wished you had a different one. :-) Best wishes, Teri Teri Johnson Manager, Clinical Trial Testing Genoptix, Inc., a Novartis company BioPharma 1811 Aston Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 USA Phone +1 760 516 5954 tejohn...@genoptix.com www.genoptix.com ------------------------------ Hi All, Does anyone know the life expectancy of the Gemini H&E stainer? My boss has asked me this question because we are in the process of requesting for a new one.
