Dear Jeff Silverman,

 

Below is a statement from our Website regarding the Artisan Staining System:

 

"The Artisan Staining System is the first instrument to provide true walk away automation for complex special stains and immunohistochemical* stains.  All procedural requirements for staining are controlled by the instrument, making the complexity of unique test protocols transparent to the operator. 

 

The Artisan utilizes a patented "reaction chamber".  With a 48 slide capacity, the Artisan can handle many laboratories' needs in a single run.  With a broad menu of special stains, the Artisan can optimize your laboratory workflow.  Automating special stains in your laboratory will dramatically improve your productivity and throughput. 

 

*Adaptation to DakoCytomation reagents is on-going."

 

Please feel free to contact me or any of my colleagues if you have any other questions about this instrument.
