I agree.  We also have three Dako autostainers and they are the workhorse of our lab.  They certainly keep the cost per slide down and we also have a great relationship with the company.  We also, however, have a Ventana XT which does great in-situ.  I do find however, the cost per test is expensive.  I also find the machine very noise and complaints come in on a daily basis.  I find the success with working with Ventana to be the sales rep.  
   
  We are very pleased with Dako and are excited about their new instrument.  We appreciate the open system.  Since we perform a great deal of research, the cost per slide is extremely important to our researchers on a very limited budget.  
   
  As with any instrument there are pro's and con's.
