The Dako is easier and provides better quality. It allows for more user input
and if it goes down, the stains can be completed easily due to the reagent
packs.
The Ventana, in my opinion is for the more novice user. Inexperienced techs,
with a mid level volume can easily operate this unit. It is not as easy to
complete the stain if the instrument goes down and requires a lot of
maintenance.

Subject: [Histonet] Dako Artisan VS. Ventana Benchmark speical stainer

Hello,
Our lab is currently evaluating the Benchmark Special Stainer from Ventana and
we are finding the stain quality and consistency to be lacking, especially the
retic and trichrome. While we have the opportunity, we would like to consider
an alternative platform, the Dako Artisan. Has anyone used one or both of
these plans? If so, can you provide any feedback on your experience, including
any pros or cons?
Any feedback is very much appreciated as we do not want to be stuck with an
instrument that is not going to work.
Thanks in advance!
