[Histonet] DAKO Autostainer Link 48/FLEX system

Fri Apr 16 14:01:48 CDT 2010

We changed from the older DAKO system to the link 48. There were some growing pains as there is always when changing to new instrumentation. The pros is that once your trained on the software it is alot more user friendly then the older system it is also able to have other protocals programed into it, a very open system. The only cons we have had is a few issuse with the PT link and some warped racks. DAKO has been very responsive with any of the issues and the training they provided was great. I hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,

I would like to hear (pros and cons) from labs that have this instrument or have looked at it. We currently use 2 of the oldest Dako autostainers and are in need of updating. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have upgraded to the new autostainer links. I have four of them. There are many pros and many cons. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer.
