Re: Auto Coverslippers

From:Laurie Colbert

We have the Sakura tape coverslipper and we love it!  It is fast, easy
to use, and we have had no mechanical problems with it.  We have
experienced "cornflaking" where a brown precipitate-type of artifact
appears, but we have corrected that by not letting the slides get too
dry going from the stainer to the coverslipper.  We also increased the
times in the last alcohols and xylenes.  You have to make sure your last
xylenes are really, really clean, or you could have trouble with the
tape coming off.  We have not had this particular problem, and, again,
we love it!!!!
