Dako did acquire Surgipath recently. The Surgipath rep said it has been
a good "marriage" for them so far.

Jeff,

It is not just Dako, but many vendors have jacked up the cost of goods.
Let's take the PSLIM from Accuplace. About a month ago you could
purchase this for $5K. Now that Thermo has acquired distribution rights
it costs over $10K and nothing has changed. To me, it is better to sell
10 at $5K than 5 at $10K. We were ready to purchase several more of
these, but have to reconsider our options now. No wonder Healthcare
costs are out of control.

> 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
