[Histonet] Less costly IHC optimization instruments

[awatanabe <@t> tgen.org]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking into ways of doing my IHC optimizations for less up front costs on reagents instead of using my big Ventana instrument.  I've seen this product advertised and wondered if anyone has one or has used one.  If so can you give me some pros and cons of the instrument? I appreciate any information you can provide.
