[Histonet] RE: specials stainers

[Marcum, Pamela A]

We use our Leica H&E stainer for PAS only as it is the fastest way we have found to get 30 to 40 bone marrow PAS slides out before 6:30AM every morning.  Otherwise it was just too cumbersome and the Dako does a great job on all routine stains.  We only do the neuro stains and Copper by hand now.  The Dako Copper kit is a different procedure and our pathologist like so it can't be used.  The PAS is just too slow for the turnaround we need daily.  The stain is great!!

I have the Leica multistainer.  We use it for H & E staining only.  When we attempted to set it up for Special Stains, all of the silver stains had to be made up either each run or each day.  Too much hassle.

Oops   -  I had IHC on the brain and didn't pay close attention!

Leica does not have a dedicated special stainer  - but they have a multistainer which stains specials as well as H&E. Is too slow in a busy lab tho.

I very much recommend the DAKO Artisan..

It is Monday on Tuesday... right?

Good Morning,
We are looking for an automatic stainer for special stains.   Ventana vs Dako?  Thoughts?
Thanks for any input, Janice Mitchell
