Re: [Histonet] Leica vs Ventana
My sincere apologies to all that I have offended. I asked a simple question and got a very helpful reply from someone who asked me to call them, as they had compared for their facility and it answered my questions.

I have a Leica Bond and I have had a couple of small issues but I think that is par for the course with any instrument. Nothing is full proof. I run a small lab that processes 20,000 surgicals a year. The Bond seemed more economical for my situation without compromising quality. I have had the instrument for 1.5 years and I would purchase another. histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu 12/11/2009 1:05 pm Send Histonet mailing list submissions to histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu You can reach the person managing the list at histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Histonet digest...

We put a little swirl on the block face and let it soak for 10-30+ minutes depending on spec. You can usually get a ribbon, then you have to re-soak for another ribbon. I hope this helps!

They are chunking out when we try to cut them. I think we need to soften the keratin and I looked in the archives for the right dilution of ammonium hydroxide to use. One post said 5% the other said straight. What dilution do you recommend? I'm think it would probably be the same as what you use on toenails.
