[Histonet] Leica vs Ventana

[Mahoney,Janice A]

I think these obscure emails about vendors are very damaging, regardless of who the vender is.  If someone is experiencing a particular problem with an instrument, please use this venue to get advice on how others handled it.  Be open about the problem so that we all can learn from your experiences.  To dog a company without any real information is not useful to anyone.
Both companies have good instruments that may suit different types of labs better than the other.
I'll get off my soap box now.
Jan Mahoney, Omaha

Probably depends on whether you're talking about a white elephant or not

This sounds like the game  children play,  so who  would win the fight
between an elephant and a hippopotamus, or the fight  between a banana
and a pomegranate etcetc.

Why would you switch from a reliable, walk-away, reproducible system?

Just curious.

Anyone out there found an advantage of going from Ventana to Leica for
IHC?  I am being warned about extra costs and protocol issues with the 3
trays.

In negotiations....
