I like my Leica glass coverslipper. So does our Cytology department. They
wanted real glass because the dots will come off of glass. I understand the
dots won't come off the tape. Plus they didn't like the waves in the
tape.(fussy cytologists!)

		I worked with the Tissue Tek SCA Coverslipper at my previous
job, and we
		just purchased one at my current job.  We love it!  It is
fast, easy to

One thing

end of your
		staining process are very clean.  Any water or alcohol
contamination can
		cause the film to peel off of the slides.
