Vicki,

We researched immunostainers too.  We looked at the Ventura, Dako's autostainer,
and Shandon's.

We decided upon the Autostainer from Dako.  We've had it since May and
absolutely LOVE it.  We have gotten GREAT support from Dako concerning supplies,
maintenance, even silly questions (which I should know but some days I can't
think).  We can also use any company's kits not just the kits from Dako.  We
actually do use a majority of Dako supplies and have been very happy.  If you
have any more specific questions, please ask!!
