[Histonet] Leica Bond 3

[Rathborne, Toni]

How long have you had the Bond III? During this time, how many service calls have you had for it?
I put out a post a few days ago about service packages for the Bond and the Peloris. No one has responded about the Bond yet. Does this mean that they have been problem free?
I did have a few responses from Peloris users who had many service calls. Are all of them prone to problems? I'd like to hear from users who have the Peloris and have not had problems with it.

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
