[Burton, Lynn]

We just got a Discovery XT and have had the Benchmark XT. It still works well after 10 years.

Which Dako and Ventana machines are you all using?  We are in the market for a new IHC stainer and the new Ventana BenckMark Ultra machine looks interesting.

We had Ventana and changed to Dako.  The Dako phone tech support is
excellent and we never wait long for in house service.   Our
pathologists love the turnaround time with the open system and the stain quality.

I concur with Lynn; we've been dealing with Ventana 19 years.

We have been dealing with Ventana for at least 10 years with very good service and reliability. Their phone tech support is excellent and we have never waited long for in house service.
