[Histonet] Leica vs Ventana

Fri Dec 11 09:48:36 CST 2009

We are a large Reference Lab and use both instruments and get good
results and vendor support from Leica and Ventana,  if you are a small
lab then it should be your preference and what you feel comfortable
with.

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.

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....
