We've had the Leica ASP 300 for about four years now.  We've had to
replace the pump twice, the fuse-power cord assembly had to be replaced
also.  Every time we've had to order a part from Leica it's been very
frustrating.  The wrong part has been sent more often than the correct
one and that is after we've had to contact Germany to get a fax of what
the part looks like. We still got the wrong part.  This year our
processor has worked "properly" for a grand total of THREE weeks, and
not in a row.  Thank God we have an old but reliable VIP as a back up.
 
All of this is well documented in our Biomed department so no
threatening calls please.  Look at the disclaimer below.

Subject: [Histonet] Processor Preferences??

          Dear Histonet,
   
                  We are in the process of buying a new tissue processor
and are currently considering the Shandon Excelsior, the Shandon
Pathcentre, and the Leica ASP300. I would welcome input and personal
preferences from Histonetters who use these instruments. Thank you in
advance!
