[Histonet] IHC-start-up

[Edwards, Richard]

Your biggest problem is not your  choice  of  machine  but which antibodies will  work/cross react on animal tissues, many if not most,  do not.

Hi all-

Our histopathology lab is looking to
set up an IHC component to service the request of our clients.  All work is on animal tissue.  We will probably run about 1,000 IHC slides the first year and hope to increase the workload each year.  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!

Regards,

Erin Sarricks, HT (ASCP)
