I used it for research purposes (which was outside its current expected use so took some creative workarounds to make it work).For clinical settings there isnt much to kess around with and the standard protocols make the end product is far better than the other platforms i have use in the past (Leica Bond and Ventana). Once you get used to the process of prepping and loading samples the turn around time is also much better. Once Sakura opens up the software to allow for making time adjustments at all the steps and at the users input times than this platform will be the top of the line product in my opinion as it will allow fine tuning of protocols to suit the pathologists preferences On Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:56?AM Michael Bradley via Histonet < histonet at lists.utsouthwestern.edu> wrote: > Hi all > > I am looking for anyone using or has demoed the Sakura Genis IHC stainer. > I would like an honest opinion on the instrument. > > Thank you > _______________________________________________ > Histonet mailing list > Histonet at lists.utsouthwestern.edu > http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet > From relia1 at earthlink.net Mon Jan 12 10:38:50 2026 From: relia1 at earthlink.net (relia1 at earthlink.net) Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 11:38:50 -0500 Subject: [Histonet] =?utf-8?b?4p2E77iPIFJFTElBIEhvdCBKb2IgQWxlcnQg4oCUIFdp?= =?utf-8?q?nter_Opportunities_Are_Heating_Up!_=F0=9F=94=A5Hi?= Message-ID: <011a01dc83e1$f0059450$d010bcf0$@earthlink.net> Hi Histonetters!

Below is a quick breakdown that may help as you plan your hiring strategy for 2026. What Travelers Tell Me They Actually Take Home Most travelers share that once temporary living costs are factored in, their earnings look very different from the headline numbers. * Weekly gross: $2,000?$2,500 * 12?week total: $24,000?$30,000 * Temporary living costs: $8,000?$9,000 * Real take?home: typically mid?$40s to low?$50s per hour These numbers reflect what I hear directly from histotechs who have worked multiple travel assignments. What Histotechs Value in Permanent Roles Many techs tell me that when they look at the full picture, permanent roles often land in the same range once benefits are included. Most perm packages add $8?$12/hr in real value through: * PTO * Health insurance * Retirement match * Predictable schedules * No duplicate housing * Long?term stability That places many permanent roles in the $40?$50/hr equivalent range ? right where travelers end up after expenses. What This Means for Your Lab You don?t need to match travel pay dollar?for?dollar to stay competitive. You do have an opportunity to highlight the full value of your permanent package and the stability your lab offers ? two things histotechs consistently tell me they appreciate. If you?d like help reviewing your openings or want insight into what histotechs are prioritizing in 2026, I?m always happy to support your team.

Whether you?re currently traveling or thinking about getting into travel for the first time, I want to share something that most histotechs never get a clear explanation of: Travel pay isn?t always what it seems. On paper, the hourly rate looks incredible ? sometimes double what a permanent tech earns. But once you factor in the cost of temporary living, the real earnings often land much closer to perm than people expect. Here are two quick examples based on a generous $75/hr travel rate: ? Tampa, FL ? 12?week assignment Gross pay: $36,000 Temporary living costs: $8,000?$9,000 Real earnings: about $55?$57/hr ? Nashville, TN ? 12?week assignment Gross pay: $36,000 Temporary living costs: ~$8,575 Real earnings: about $57/hr Why the numbers shrink Travel pay looks higher because it includes the cost of living somewhere you don?t actually live. Once you subtract housing, utilities, parking, food inflation, and travel, the ?$75/hr? illusion fades fast. This doesn?t mean travel is bad ? it can be exciting, flexible, and financially rewarding in the right season of your life. But it does mean you should compare travel and perm using real earnings, not just the headline rate. And don?t forget the value of perm work Permanent roles come with benefits that don?t show up on a travel pay stub, including: PTO Health insurance Retirement match Predictable schedules No duplicate housing Long?term stability Those benefits often add $8?$12/hr in real value. If you?re trying to decide between travel and perm ? or you?re wondering what your true compensation looks like ? I?m always happy to walk through the numbers with you. No pressure, no agenda. Just clarity. You deserve to make the choice that supports the life you want, not just the rate on a job posting. Curious what your real take?home looks like?

What You?re Really Earning - With REAL World Examples! Message-ID: <006601dc8af6$822f2d30$868d8790$@earthlink.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi there Histopeeps and Histonetters! Whether you?re currently traveling or thinking about getting into travel for the first time, I want to share something that most histotechs never get a clear explanation of: Travel pay isn?t always what it seems. On paper, the hourly rate looks incredible ? sometimes double what a permanent tech earns. But once you factor in the cost of temporary living, the real earnings often land much closer to perm than people expect. Here are two quick examples based on a generous $75/hr travel rate: ? Tampa, FL ? 12?week assignment Gross pay: $36,000 Temporary living costs: $8,000?$9,000 Real earnings: about $55?$57/hr ? Nashville, TN ? 12?week assignment Gross pay: $36,000 Temporary living costs: ~$8,575 Real earnings: about $57/hr Why the numbers shrink Travel pay looks higher because it includes the cost of living somewhere you don?t actually live. Once you subtract housing, utilities, parking, food inflation, and travel, the ?$75/hr? illusion fades fast. This doesn?t mean travel is bad ? it can be exciting, flexible, and financially rewarding in the right season of your life. But it does mean you should compare travel and perm using real earnings, not just the headline rate. And don?t forget the value of perm work Permanent roles come with benefits that don?t show up on a travel pay stub, including: PTO Health insurance Retirement match Predictable schedules No duplicate housing Long?term stability Those benefits often add $8?$12/hr in real value. If you?re trying to decide between travel and perm ? or you?re wondering what your true compensation looks like ? I?m always happy to walk through the numbers with you. No pressure, no agenda. Just clarity. You deserve to make the choice that supports the life you want, not just the rate on a job posting. Curious what your real take?home looks like? I?m happy to walk through the numbers ? no pressure, just clarity. ? (407) 353?5070 ? relia1 at earthlink.net Warmly, Pam Thanks-Pam "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." - Mark Twain.

Yesterday?s Travel vs. Perm posts took off ? so I dropped the full breakdown. Travel pay looks big. Perm roles look stable. But the real numbers and the long term impact tell a very different story. I just published a breakdown that?s honest, clear, and helpful for BOTH travelers and lab leadership. If you?re trying to make sense of your next move ? or trying to hire histotechs? this will give you the clarity you?ve been looking for. ? Full blog is live now. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/travel-vs-perm-honest-insights-histotechs-wha t-lab-should-pam-barker-kj3kf So many histotechs and leaders reached out after yesterday?s posts. Clearly this topic hits home. If you?re trying to make sense of the real numbers, you?re not alone. If you ever want to talk through your own situation ? hiring or job?hunting ? I?m always here to help. ? 407?353?5070 ? relia1 at earthlink.net Thanks-Pam "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." - Mark Twain. Thank You! Pam M.
