Hello Fellow Histonetters:

I am looking for feedback either positive or negative about the Ventana
Benchmark.  We are considering one but I have reservations about the
cost of the reagents when you are locked into using reagents only from
them.  Has anyone using this instrument met with huge increased cost of
these consumables after you had already purchased the instrument?  Is
the quality so superior that we should take a risk on having to pay
whatever the company might charge in the future because we don't have
any other options?????  Please help if you can.  Feel free to email me
directly.   Thanks all!!
