[Histonet] Dako Eridan

[Richard Cartun]

I had the opportunity to work with the Vison BioSystems "Bond-Max" last
week at their facility in Norwell, MA.  I hadn't set-up IHC slides for a
few years so it was a lot fun for me to get back into the lab and get my
hands wet.  I set up approximately 100 IP stains (mostly CD markers), as
well as several in situ hybridization slides.  The quality and
uniformity of the immunoreactivity (and hybridization) was
"outstanding".  I have never seen such beautiful slides before.

Are there any users of the new eridan immuno stainer out there in
histo
land?

We are looking at either the BondMax or the Eridan and personally much
prefer the idea of the BondMax as have used one compared to the Eridan
where
they are saying there will be ONE in Australasia by the end of the year
-
maybe, and if we want one before 2008 we have to say now and order one
now
even without seeing the machine as they are only selling two to New
Zealand
next year!

Also, are the general experiences with DAKO getting any better at the
moment?

So if anyone does have some feedback or any other comments to add I
would
like to hear them.

Cheers and best wishes
