Carole, I am using BioCare's Intellipath and like it very much. It is an open stainer so you can use what ever reagents you want to use but BioCare's cost for reagents is excellent. Also, it has a continuous access so adding more slides while a run is in process is not a problem. That's great when you have a pathologist that as soon as you have a run on decides he wants another stain. It also has a stat run capability. The technical and sales support staff is excellent. If you would like any more information you can contact me off line. Linda

I am working for a small volume lab and we are looking for an IHC stainer. I have not been anywhere to see what is out there and would really like some neutral opinions, regarding experience or knowledge of products on the market right to get an idea of what direction to go in. We are using a Dako Artisan for both special stains and IHC now but will not be able to get antibodies for this stainer in the future. Ideally, we would like to be able to do both, but would be happy with some solid info on just an IHC stainer. Nothing at all against Dako....great instrument...but my boss would like to have more choices.
