[Histonet] Dako

[O'Donnell, Bill]

 Haven't had it happen yet, but I have been systematically firing them
for a number of reasons, not the least of which is no contact with any
sales reps by their initialization for close to 8 YEARS! (Except when I
complained about this and they showed up unexpectedly on my day off, so
it doesn't count)

Another reason is the new pricing on items, I am saving tons of money by
shopping around. I am finding that revalidation with similar products
hasn't involved too much change. In fact, most changes have been to oour
benefit.

Elimination/repackaging of detection systems, movement toward automation
specific packaging(now in a small lab that has a small panel and can
easily handle the work load manually)

I was wondering if anyone else is being blackmailed by Dako to sign a
contract with them. We have enjoyed our relationship a number of years
buying there product as we need it. We also have changed detection kits
as we where advised. Now they are telling us that if we do not go  with
price per slide they will raise our costs of purchasing our supplies.
Example  EnVision + dual link system last year cost 1,580.70 this year
3,300 and that this will go in effect March 1st ( just talked to the rep
about this Tues) Just 1 example. SOOOO. Has anyone else had this happen
to them and what did you do?   Thanks  Jeff
