There are other issue that you have to take into consideration with both instruments, With digital image analysis you also have to look at the questions that CAP just instituted for this. This includes the machine being run by someone that can do high complexity testing. This means that you have to have a tech do this machine, not a TA or Lab aid. There are also issue with consistent calibration of the Image analysis machines, continued education of the techs, and validating not only anitbodies but continued validation of the image algorythms.. Do not listen to vendors, rely on your instinct and validate.
