You will never have an employee put an incorrect reagent into a container, and direct to drain waste makes it an appealing option. The H&E's are absolutely beautiful! Symphony is finicky about certain things though--the type of alcohol you use, the humidity levels in your lab, and the unit just doesn't like charged slides. Bubbles in coverslips and slides sticking together when filing may or may not be an issue. That being said, I've used Prisma's predecessors (the DRS 2000) and, no matter what, those things NEVER failed. We had three of them that ran 50-70 runs per day for around 10 years, and I can count on one hand the number of times they weren't functional. These are open container stainers though, and do require diligent maintenance and reagent changes/rotations. If you can handle that, I'd say go with the Prisma.
