[Histonet] Ventana Benchmark

Never had this happen unless someone inadvertently rotated the reagent wheel while the run was under way.

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.
