[Histonet] LabVision/Dako Autostainer

2009-01-23 Thread Della Speranza, Vinnie
We have earlier generation Dako Autostainers and are evaluating a current 
generation LabVision stainer. New or old we have experienced occasions when 
this instrument design has failed to dispense reagent. This seems to occur 
randomly or if there is a pattern we haven't figured it out. I've recently 
learned that some owners of the Biocare Nemesis which is essentially the same 
instrument have also encountered this problem.

The arm will travel to the correct slide but nothing dispenses from the probe, 
then the arm moves on its way. 

I'd appreciate learning if others have experienced this problem and if a 
solution to the problem was discovered I hope you'll share it with me.

Hey Vinnie,
We have 2 lab visions and we also experienced this problem. They came in and 
changed the level sensors and we have not had the problem since.
