We use the Leica platforms and just got a Leica RX which is for animal research and ISH, we love the openness of it.

Some  stains we would run would include CD4, CD8, Ki-67 and TUNEL. We looked at the Ventana Discovery XT and appeared to be a good fit for our needs.  Does anyone have any other advice on other machines we should look into?  Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
