[Histonet] RE: Leica Bond Stainer

BondMax and Bond III are great. Very intuitive, open and fast. And you can deparaffinize and retrieve online, which is a big plus in my mind. But then again, you don't have to, but you can.

Subject: [Histonet] Leica Bond Stainer

Hello all,

Our laboratory is considering a purchase, and Leica will be giving a presentation on the unit in September.  I was hoping to get some responses of pros/cons/quirks from users to help in our assessment.  We are currently using Ventana XT to look at PD biomarkers in cell lines, xenografts and some clinical samples.  I would be interested in a comparison of performance and reliability between these platforms.

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom
