Hello;

We are currently evaluating various immunohistochemical
stainers for our laboratory.  Recently I have seen some
information from Diagnostic Products Corporation regarding
their IHC stainer.  It looks like a beefed version of the
old Shandon coverpalte model.  Does anyone out their
currently use this unit and what do you think about it?  In
particular we need a high throughput machine and would like
to hear about different laboratory experiences with the
machine regarding reliability and operating costs.  We have
already looked at the Dako and various Ventana models.  


regards
