[Histonet] Caveat Emptor

[Jes Strong]

Dear Histonetters,


While we would never use this forum for commercial marketing purposes, we
feel that this would be the best platform to set the record straight and to
clear up any misunderstandings in the marketplace.



As of November 20, 2004, Milestone s.r.l. (manufacturers of microwave tissue
processors and digital imaging systems) ended its distribution arrangement
with Hacker Instruments and set up a Direct US Sales and Support Office in
Shelton, Connecticut known as Milestone Medical Inc.



As of November 20, 2004, no company other than Milestone Medical is
authorized to sell Milestone products in the United States; nor will
Milestone provide warranties, parts, service or application support to any
company that attempts to sell Milestone products without authorization.



All Milestone products sold by authorized representatives (before and after
November 20, 2004) will continue to be supported according to the
manufacturer’s warranties and extended service agreements.



This message is also intended to reach current Milestone users who may need
any technical or applications support. You can get in touch with us using
the information below and we will promptly return your inquiry.



Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to serving the needs of
the histology community.
