We have had our Sakura Coverslipper in service since early 1996.  It has been serviced annually, and has had "additional" TLC on two other occasions.  *Very* reliable in my opinion.

Hello fellow histonetters,
Does anyone know the approximate lifespan of the Sakura coverslipper? If
there are any users out there, how long has your instrument been in service?
Thanks for your help,
