Hi,
    We demoed (sounds like a word to me...) the Cytologicx special stainer and
were unimpressed to say the least. If you are looking for a stainer for batches
of slides try the Leica or Shandon. If you aren't definitely check carefully
weather it is worth even bothering. You will probably be better off hand
staining.
