In our GI Laboratory we have both and we do between 35 and 55 blocks per day. I would not want to have to choose between the both.
I would get a "new" Auto stainer because the quality of your stained slides would be more consistent and be easier to assess for QC purposes. I would get a "used" Tissue-Tek coverslip machine because it is a work horse tank and rarely has problems and would increase productivity by 5x over doing hand coverslips as well as reduce the chemical hazards exposure to the Tech.

Message-ID: <1790187348.9333912.1491141782...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Staining is a more complex step than coverslipping. Also a coverslip on a section has more "latitude" and can, if necessary, be removed and coverslip in a different way. A stained section, on the other hand, is almost impossible to "correct". Between an autostainer and a coverslipper, I would choose an autostainer.Ren?
