I would recommend the Shandon Veristainer 24.  Your volume would be about right for this stainer.  I have used them in the past and found them very reliable and easy to use.

Hi all,  I,m looking into automatic slide stainers (H&E).  I know they've been available for eons, but I am unfamiliar with them.  Which ones are really good -quality and speed.  Any  I should stay away from?  We stain about 250 slides or less a day.
Thanks!
