I totally agree with William. I do animal IHC and I am, using the
Biocare Nemesis, which be the same as the Dako platform. Completely open
so you can do what you need to at a cost you can afford

Doing ihc on animal tissue is very tricky, if for no other reason than you are
trying to standardize an antibody across multiple species. You will need to use
every trick in the book and invent some of your own to get reproducible results.
I would steer clear of any platforms that do not let you customize everything.
I would suggest an OLD Dako or biocare's IntelliPath. Both have their quirks
but they have the openness you require.

Hi all-
Our histopathology lab is looking to
set up an IHC component to service the request of our clients. All work is on
animal tissue. We will probably run about 1,000 IHC slides the first year and
hope to increase the workload each year. Some stains we would run would
include CD4, CD8, Ki-67 and TUNEL. We looked at the Ventana Discovery XT and
appeared to be a good fit for our needs. Does anyone have any other advice on
other machines we should look into? Any information or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you!
Regards,
