FW: [Histonet] RE: Automating muscle and neuro stains

[Ian Montgomery]

	Have I died and gone to histologists heaven? Automate an ATPase, now
there would be something special. No more crying and wailing over failed or
partially successful acid reversal. I'll have to retreat to a darkened room,
I'm traumatised.

Subject: RE: [Histonet] RE: Automating muscle and neuro stains



 I was hoping to determine the level of interest in having muscle and neuro
stains automated? I am speaking with a vendor about the desire to automate
many of my stains: ATP, NADH, SDH, COX, Acetyl cholinesterase, Luxol Fast
Blue, etc..... 

 

Would your lab use this technology?

Would you do this work in house instead of sending it out if it were
automated?

How many tests does your lab do per year in this category?

Would you prefer this was a feature on your automated special stainer?

 

I will compile the answers.

Thanks in advance for your participation.
