[Histonet] IHC stainers

[Rathborne, Toni]

We have found that when using the Bond, it is easier to get started with 10 slides, or 1 or 2 small cases. Our pathologists make requests throughout the day, and to have to hold up the entire run so that another case can be added creates a delay in results.

Folks,

 

I have been asked to post this question about continuous feed batching for
IHC stainers:

 

"continuous feed" stainers - Bond is really the only one at 10 slides per
batch, though the old Benchmark was similar at 20 per batch.  The new
Biocare is 12 per batch.  We are wondering if people use the feature, and if
so, how does it work for them to do many small batches during the day rather
than one or two large batches. Does this really help workflow or is it just
a marketing point.

 

Thank you for your feed back,

 

Patsy
