Beth: I evaluated the AS-Link/TPID and wasn't too impressed. Its the same basic machine with a new outside/skin and the only difference is that in can read barcode labels on the reagents. To me, the postive-ID part should be handles by the LIS, not the staining system. One part of the deal that really concerned me is that Dako is pushing a new detectionsystem called Flex, which costs a lot more than Envision plus. And they want to bill our lab on a per-slide basis, which seems fishy to me. Ican send you my cost analysis if you want. Next stop: Biocare's intellipath. Sally -----Original Message-----

I'm curious if anyone out there has any feedback or comments on the new Dako IHC Instrument, Autostainer Link 48 and/or their TPID (True Positive ID). We are in desparate need of replacing our current DAKO instruments, and are probably going to stick with DAKO again after looking at several other instruments. I just thought I check to see if anyone using it has anything to say.
