I have used the older Dako Artisan and loved it. It is easy to adapt to you
lab protocols and if it goes down, you can easily pick up from where you left
off. The customer service was great (it has been a while since I had an
instrument), and replacement kits and labels were easy to get. The stains are
easy to read and the pathologists like them. Warthin Starry used to be only 7
min and very clean. Multiple stains can be performed at once, including AFB
and GMS.

Dear all,
We are looking at another vendor for special stains. Any input or feedback on
Dako special stainer will be much appreciated.
Thanks and have great weekend.

We love our Artisan! We use it for Warthin-Starry, Gram, AFB and GMS staining.
There are many more stains for the Artisan...these are just the ones we use.
