About the Optimax automated stainer,  I tried it out in our lab, and found it
to be too touchy, ie:  allignment, specials did not work, time consuming.
Next to the Dako there is no comparision, by the way Dako is coming out with
special stain software this year.  Our lab ended up purchasing the Dako.  I
love it ; easy to use, low cost, high volume, I highly reccomend this piece
of equipment.
