The DAKO autostainer is totally open, can run several different antibodies
with different detections and individual slide modifications.

Hi Garry,
We currently have a demo of the Biogenex i6000. We love it. You can modify 
each individual slide, instead of editing a whole new procedure. We mostly 
wanted it for the random access. We already have the Artisan by Dako. A 
reliable instrument but with limited kit availability.
