[Histonet] Ventana ultra

[Amber McKenzie]

I recently got an Ultra about a month ago and doing test runs, I have
really enjoyed the continuous feed as well but I have a question...if I
deactivate a product from the Ultra's inventory list I notice it's still
in my XT's inventory list.  So, I have to deactivate everything off of
each instrument?

I currently have one XT and 3 Ultras.  I love the Ultras. There is no
difference in reagent costs.  The only thing that I can say remotely
related is that if you keep both platforms, the XT and the ultras have
separate CC1, CC2, and LCS. I am fairly certain the contents of the
bottle are the same, but the label and part numbers are different.
I love the continuous access. I have it set up where the three ultras
are 'top loaded' with set antibodies every day. This eliminates bouncing
things around all the time. Contact me if you would like anymore info. I
would be happy to help. I notice no delay in run times.

Does anyone use the Benchmark Ultra - care to share your comments?

We are considering switching from the Benchmark XT to the Ultra but
would like to hear from users about this instrument.
Is there an increase in reagent cost?

Can you really add more slides without adding time to the run?
