RE: [Histonet] Glass coverslippers

I can't blame you for that. We have had much better luck. We have 2 of the CV 5000's. One had a pump problem but they replaced the unit and that was that. We use one for resin mountant and one for aqueous for our IHC slides. People just have to be neat and not drop mountant on the walking beam...if they are careful of that then there are no problems. We had a demo CV 5030 for about 3 months and everyone in the group almost cried when it left because it was so maintenance free. No pump!
At any rate, I hope you find one you are happy with. As soon as out budget is official we are getting the CV 5030. It's on the top of our lab's "wish list".

Yes
And before that we had a CV 5000 - it was taken back to its manufacturer
for 'repair', got it back - same problem, replaced with new CV 5030 -
which also developed problems. That was taken away too....hated both of
them with a passion
The slips were 'dropped', glass shards all over the place... slides
snapped - was without a slipper for almost 4 months!!!
Perhaps we were just unlucky - im not sure - some labs swear by them. Im
just feeling a 'once bitten, twice shy' kind of feeling

Merry Christmas everyone

Think of us - working a normal day over here in Abu Dhabi

Greetings

Leica once - was so very patient - 2 exchanges (new machines) later -

Can anyone recommend a automated glass coverslipper? I've used Hacker in
the past. Any that are faster, better? Thanks.
