My vote is for the VIP. I have a Shandon Pathcenter and never again. I think every part has been repalced on it, some twice. If you decide to go with a Shandon, get a good service contract and have back up. I don't know how their new one is. I'd be interested to hear comments.

I have always been a strong fan of the Sakura tissue processors.  But I have
to admit, the Shandon unit, with its on-board QA/QC features combined with
their system of rotating reagents have caught my eye and would have be be
seriously evaluated

We are in the process of buying a new tissue processor. Can anyone recommend
a good and reliable processor good for R&D purposes?
