[Histonet] Ventana Probes

[Rene J Buesa]

At 100µL per dispense, to do 50 tests you will need
50 x 100µL = 5000 µL = 5 ml
You do need to dilute it

Sorry folks, in my impaired state of mind I made a boo boo. I need 5-6 ml to do 50 tests. If the dispenses are still 100 ul each. Any thoughts?

Ok. Ventana is on my last nerve with this new probe configuration of theirs.
I have a 4 ml vial of EBER Probe here in my lab. I am told that this is good for approx 50 tests.
So at 100 ul a dispense, I need to bring the volume up to at least 15 ml (probably 16ml).  Not a soul under Ventana's employ will tell me what probe diluent to use, or what else I am supposed to do with it. I'm ready to add vodka.

If anyone out there has transitioned to the new EBER probe configuration, can you give a gal a break and contact me?
Sorry for the Thursday rant....anyway Happy Lab Week everyone!!!
