[Histonet] Ventana Benchmark

[GUTIERREZ, JUAN]

Yes, it's happened to me twice.  As a matter of fact, the service rep. is on his way here right now.  The problem seems to be the belt that moves the carousel.  Once the belt was replaced on my other benchmark the problem went away, so I'm hoping for the same results on this one.  Good luck!

	Hi All,
	
	Has anyone out there using the Ventana Benchmark had trouble with the
	antibody not being dispensed onto the slides?  Also have you ahd a similar
	problem with haematoxylin being missed on some slides?
	
	This appears to have developed recently and we are almost certain that it is
	neither the dispensers nor the reagents.  We think the slide carousel may be
	getting out of sinc with the dispenser carousel, although we don't know how.
	
	Many thanks for any replies.
