Re: [Histonet] : Re: H&E Stainer Question

[Simmons, Christopher]

Depending on your LIS integration, the block barcode is scanned, there is a 
delay that you can specify, then the slide(s) ordered on that particular block 
are printed in the order they are ordered.
SlideMates have 2 versions, one sends a text file to the server to print the 
slide, the other sends a picture file that the slidemate copies, you will have 
to determine which one you want.
They are a great time-saver, cost-saver, and CAP compliant machine.

Does anyone have a Thermo PrintMate that you'd like to share the SOP on?  
Thanks!

 We just got rid of our Leica XL.  It was not working right after about 10 
years, little things started going wrong. And then it just quit "reading" the 
white clip that we used for counterstaining IHC.  The cost for someone to come 
to the lab to fix it was ridiculous.  The customer service from Leica was not 
the best.
We now have a Gemini from Thermo and love it.  It has two ovens and stains 
similar to the Leica.  So far we have not had any problems and we LOVE our 
Thermo/Fisher reps.  They have been wonderful.
