[Histonet] Re: Immunostaining for H. pylori

[sheila adey]

Hi,
We have been using the AEC polymer detectiong kit for the Biogenex i6000 and 
find good staining with that.
Can anyone tell me if they have any experience with the Biocare Nemesis 
7200, they say that they offer true random access? Not just continuous 
access? Any comments would be greatly appreciated
