The Ventana Symphony can stain at the same time, non-gyn,paps and
H&E slides.
The stainer squirts the stains onto each individual slide instead of
diping into a solution. This provides the ability to prevent cross
contamination between Histo & Cyto slides and between non-gyn & paps. Of
course robotics and programming are the expensive part.
 
Question:
I really appreciate everyone's help so far, it has made our research on
automating our lab much more efficient.  I began looking at several H&E
stainers and don't quit understand Ventana's Symphony product.  It is
very expensive ($150k) and I'm not sure why it is so much more than all
the other comparable products out there.  Am I missing something?
