[Histonet] Immuno Stainer

[Troutman, Kenneth A]

Hi Sandy,

We use the Leica BondMax.  It is the only stainer that I know of that will allow you to start a run and then load more slides while the others are running.  (Twice, actually.)  As for the multiple detection kits, I believe with the model we have, you have to use at least one of their reagents on their detection kit to run the protocols.  (You can just use the hematoxylin if you don't want to use anything else.)  There is also, I believe a research version of this instrument that may be more flexible.  

Hope this helps.

Any suggestions re: an "open" Immunostainer that allows multiple detection kits, and also allows starting a new run before the previous run has completed? I work with  veterinary diagnostic and research tissues.



Thank you,

Sandy
