FW: [Histonet] We're talking of buying a Ventana Benchmark XT andtheyinsist that we need to use Superfrost Plus s

[Bonnie Whitaker]

I think the issue is that Ventana is insisting on those specific slides....
Not just any old "Plus Slides".  At least that is the issue I face when
sending reference work out to a particular laboratory.  I have been told
that I have to cut them on only Fisher or VWR Superfrost Plus slides because
of a problem that exists when using other slides on their particular
instrumentation.  I HOPE that this issue is being looked at closely!!
(Ethel, can you comment here?)

Angela,

You will definitely need "Plus" slides no matter whose instrument you use.
Find out which laboratory supply company your institution has a contract
with.  They may be your least expensive choice.

We're talking of buying a Ventana Benchmark XT and they insist that we need
to use Superfrost Plus slides. They are going to cost much more than what
we're using now. Does anyone have the inside track on the least expensive
place to buy them from? You folks are always "The" source for All Histology
Wisdom! Thanks!
