[Histonet] Ventana H.Pylori antibody

[Karen Lahti]

Hi Julia,

We have a GI lab and use Biocare's H. Pylori concentrate on Biocare's
IntelliPath.  We run about 50-75 H. pylori IHC each day.  They are very
clean and specific.  Our Pathologists and myself are extremely happy with
Biocare customer service and products.
