[Histonet] DAKO autostainer

[Patsy Ruegg]

I have used 4 different Dako Ihc stainers over the years and nothing really
important has gone bad with any of them.  I had a pump go out once but for
me it just turned out to be a fuse replacement, didn't even need a new pump,
I have heard about pumps going out but they are easy to fix, my husband in a
mechanical engineer and he works on mine (don't tell Dako), I find them to
be very reliable, open and easy to use with your own reagents.

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.
