[Histonet] DAKO autostainer

[scorpionrider <@t> cox.net]

We have 4 stainers and they are great! The only thing that comes to mind when purchasing used equipment is whether your institution would rather spend the asdditional dollars and get new instruments with the accompanying warranties and service contracts, or are they willing to take a short-cut to save the bucks. Somtimes you can even work arrangements of an instrument in return for standing orders of reagents, depending upon your usage. Either way should work as these are good machines.
