Since you already have NexES modules, the logical choice would be to get a Benchmark module.  We do EBER ISH and will be doing HPV ISH on ours with good results.

Subject: Starting FISH


I am looking for some help from those of you on the histonet that are
doing automated FISH. We currently do not do FISH/CISH/ISH but the number of
cases we send out suggests we should consider doing it ourselves. It is
highly unlikely I will get more staff to do it, thus the hope of automating.
I currently have 3 Nexes IHC modules for running IHC. So I guess my question
is which instruments out there would work well in this sort of environment?
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
