each of the 30 drawers essentially is it's own "run". You don't have to wait
for all 30 drawers to finish their runs before adding more slides.
There are 2 reagents that are exclusive to the Ultra and they are a little more
expensive. Ultra CC1 and Ultra LCS,(and ultra CC2, if you use CC2). The EZ
Prep, Reaction buffer and SSC are the same reagents that you use on your XT.
The software can be a little quirky sometimes. But, overall, we really like
ours because of the continuous feed ability.

Does anyone use the Benchmark Ultra - care to share your comments?
We are considering switching from the Benchmark XT to the Ultra but would like
to hear from users about this instrument.
Is there an increase in reagent cost?
Can you really add more slides without adding time to the run?
