[Histonet] Autoimmunostainers DAKO vs Ventanna[Scanned]

[Darren James]

Hi Bonnie,
I don't know about the US and the UK but here in NZ and also Australia they
are being placed at various sites.
I would assume that if there were any pending legal action the hold on
selling would be global.
Thanks
Darren

I heard that they were held up in litigation, and would be unable to sell
the instruments for at least a year..... Also, it's a closed system (at
least to some degree.)

As another option take a look at the Bond Max manufactured by Vision Bio
Systems http://www.vision-bio.com/product_bondmax.html

It performs on board dewaxing, heat induced epitope retreival, enzyme
digestion as well as counterstaining. I have only heard good things about
it.

I have used the Dako extensively and although good, it has it's limitations.
At the time we chose the Dako over the Ventana due to the Ventana being a
closed system. If I were in a position to purchase another I would
definitely take a long hard look at the Bond Max.

Thanks and have a great day
Darren James

WE have both, and I'm told the Ventana is the 'better' of the two options.
As an ICC virgin and one who will have to choose which platform to go with I
am particularly interested in this thread.

I would prefer to use the cheapest 'open' system that is a automated as
possible, is that mutually exclusive?

        I am looking for info= rmation from people who have switched from
   Ventanna  to  DAKO  and DAKO to V= entanna.  Why did you switch?  What
   did you like or dislike abo= ut one or the other.
