[Histonet] dako autostainers

[Jennifer Campbell]

We are looking into buying the Dako Autostainer Plus.  I asked our rep
if they still have any older models around to look into.  He made it
sound like there are older models but, the stainer itself has stayed the
same, just the software has changed/improved. He said they don't even
like selling the older models anymore b/c they are worried that the
software would be out of date.  I looked into this on Dako.com and found
that there is the older Dado Autostainer.  After reading through its
description it looks like it just lacks a few of the bells and whistles
(like a slide labeler for example) that the Autostainer Plus has but,
otherwise looks like it gets the job done just the same.  Does anyone
have any feedback on either one of these machines and whether or not you
think I should even bother looking into the older model? Thank you so
much.
