[Histonet] Leica Bond 3

[Richard Cartun]

We have a Bond III and we love it.  I don't usually use the word "love" for an instrument, but, in this case, it applies.  We do multiple runs on it every day.  We were a pilot site for Leica-Microsystems and at the end of the test period I told them that I didn't want this instrument to leave.  It is now part of our operation (we also have 5 Bond Max instruments).

We are currently demoing the Bond 3. Has anyone else tried this unit? 
Sounds like the closest competitor is Biocare and I would be interested 
in any comments. Considering our current volume and workflow, I don't 
see the Bond as being able to keep up. I don't work directly in the 
Immuno lab, but I have a Histology background.

Thanks
Victor
