[Histonet] RE: Leica Bond IHC Platform

[Sue Hunter]

I've only been told that the Bond III could do a run in, say 3 hours, where the Bond Max might be done in 4.(don't take these times as true - just as an example).  We love the ability to do a delayed start so the slides are done when we come in  the next morning - especially the in-situ slides that take longer than the immunos.

We have the Bond III. No complaints. I'm not sure what to compare to regarding speed, but we can do 4 runs a day if necessary. This does not include an overnight run, which we do as needed.

We have a Bond Max in my lab and love it!  It has been very dependable and easy to use . We also have three Ventana Ultras and two Lab Visions.  We originally got the Bond for EBV and Kappa/Lambda in-situ but also do our hormone receptors and a few other immunos on it.  Our pathologists felt the signal obtained with the DAB on the in-situ slides was superior to the NBT of the Ventana slides.  The one draw back that Ventana will talk about is that you have three racks of ten slides - each rack is independent of the others, but not the continual load of the Ultras.  You also cannot mix pretreatments on each rack because of timing/heating issues.  But we have not found either of these two issues to be a problem for us.  The Bond III is supposed to be even faster than the Bond Max but haven't looked at that.
