[Histonet] IHC Staining Platforms Pros/Cons

[Mitchell, Natacha A]

Hello fellow Histonetters,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their input regarding the differences, pros/cons and experiences with the Leica Bond III, Ultra Benchmark and Dako Omnis IHC staining platforms. Currently, we have two Ultra Benchmark strainers and use all prediluted Ab's. We do not stain for  any type of research and we can have up to three runs per machine per day. We perform both IHC and ISH.  Thank you all so much for your time and insight!!!!
