[Histonet] Leica vs Ventana

Fri Dec 11 11:53:08 CST 2009

Hi Janice,

I'm glad you brought up your point!  It's amazing how people are.  It  
just shows how narrow minded and unkind in their statements.  Yes,  
Ventana is HUGE, but they have their faults as well!  That being  
said, there is always room to build a better mouse trap and save  
money while doing it too!  The new Bond is amazing and is capable of  
doing multiple IHC staining on (1) slide.  It is also a open  
system.   "Science never sleeps"!

Thank you for speaking out, and hope you have a Wonderful Holiday  
Season!
