[Histonet] Dako Artisan VS. Ventana Benchmark speical stainer

[Miranda Giorgi]

Hello,

Our lab is currently evaluating the Benchmark Special Stainer from Ventana and we are finding the stain quality and consistency to be lacking, especially the retic and trichrome.  While we have the opportunity, we would like to consider an alternative platform, the Dako Artisan.  Has anyone used one or both of these plans?  If so, can you provide any feedback on your experience, including any pros or cons?

Any feedback is very much appreciated as we do not want to be stuck with an instrument that is not going to work.

Thanks in advance!
