[Histonet] Dako

[Hugh Luk]

I would like to ask how any of you feel about the Dako's Flex system.  I'm having a hard time liking a system that is supposed to be a strong polymer, but needs a higher pH retrieval step to work.  I also find myself tittering antibodies to a lesser degree.

I should explain I have two jobs: one research (full time), and one hospital.  But because they are such different settings, I see things that make me scratch my head about materials and pricing.

In research I am also having problems with ordering at a reasonable price.  I realize this is the same for only some of you.  Envision+ was my detection kit of choice.  However, my price limit is $2500 per order, and I find myself unable to order one detection kit for the autostainer I purchased.  Even for ancillary items, I have to split the orders.

Like Glen, I was a staunch Dako supporter.  I was the first one to place their stainer in my state.  I like and respect their people, and they have never failed me in the past.  I just can't afford them.
