[Histonet] Ventana Symphony. .

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

I have heard similar responses to yours and I think there is agreement on the quality of the instrument, but what are you paying per slide and how did you justify the cost? In your cost justification, were you able to convert to dollars any of the quality improvements and can you share that calculation?

> We have a Symphony and my techs absolutely love this instrument. It is very easy to use and the stain/reagent maintenance is so simple. No more changing and rotating solutions. The staining quality is excellent and Ventana's customer service is great. I would definitely recommend the Symphony.
