Re: Automated special stains systems

From:Claye Clyatt

Jeanine,

We installed this instrument in November and I'm very pleased with the quality of the staining procedures and the ease of use of the instrument.  We have had a few minor start up problems related to individuals technique, which is to be expected.  Dako is in the process of upgrading the instrument and it appears that most of our start up problems that are related to technique will be eliminated.  My basic feeling with only a short history with this instrument is that it is a good instrument.
