[Histonet] Automated special stains

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

Hi everybody:
 
I'd like feedback on the automated special stain equipment being used
today.  I need something that does all the traditional stains but also
silvers...mainly GMS' and Steiner's.  I am most interested in an open
system so as not to be locked into using a particular vendor's reagents
if possible.
 
Vendors welcome to email as well.
 
Thanks,
