[Histonet] Tissue processors.

Hi Histonetters
Your best bet is a VIP6. Don’t think the VIP5 is still being manufactured. If 
it is then grab one. I had 3 VIP5s. The one is still in service after 16 years. 
A trusty workhorse. Easy to use. Sakura instruments are just amazing.

Hi Colleen,

We have all VIPs here at BMC but I have used the Leica in the past at a 
previous position. We currently have 3 - E300s, 3 - VIP 5s, and 2 - VIP 6s. The 
VIPs are great and really only need preventive stuff like O rings and 
lubrication. A service company for us Avantik takes great care of all of that. 
You can get refurbished VIPs at great prices and they will last!
