Both animal disease labs in the state of Illinois have used the Sakura machines
for the twenty years I have been here with great success. We also have aSakura
processor that has been going for 25 years and a coverslipper that has only had
3 service calls for minor problems in the past 15+

As you correctly point out, all are of similar configuration and foot-print.
All use the same technology (a cooling area, a heating bath and a
hot compartment).
As to reliability TissueTek if the best for me. There are some more than 25
years old still providing a good and reliable service.

Stephanie,
I prefur the Sakura Tissue-Teks. III being my fav, but it is becomming out
dated and hard to find parts for. V is good to. The Leica brand is always
a winner. Lots of people have these, so there easy to get parts and have
maintenced. Make sure you check and see how many cassettes the
I agree! We just sent our brand new Medite back to vendor because of problems.
The cold spot was icing over and dispenser was dispensing paraffin when I
wasn't even using it! We just purchased the Sakura tec which has been my
favorite since I've been a tech.
