AW: [Histonet] VENTANA ULTRA ER,PR,HER2
The Her2 CB11 clone of Ventana is FDA approved. In the package insert of the Her2 4B5 clone is stated, that the antibody was compared to CB11 and shows same or better performance. The CB11 clone was exchanged through 4B5. On the NordiQC website Ventana 4B5 and Dako Herceptest are called FDA approved. http://www.nordiqc.org/Run-30-B10/Assessment/assessment-B10-HER2.htm So in my opinion the company wouldn't exchange its antibody, if it wouldn't be approved now or soon.

I discovered that the ER, PR, HER2 are not yet FDA approved. If you are using the Ventana Ultra how are you doing the ER, PR, HER2? Do you use the Benchmark XT? Is anyone using the INFORM HER2 Dual ISH DNA Probe Cocktail Assay?

AW: [Histonet] Ventana ultra
What we like about the Ultra is, that there's no need for cleaning runs between the runs and that you can take out the bulk and waste containers during the run. We don't use the continious loading, because it doesn't fit to our workplan and because we use various antibodies from run to run. The runs are faster, but more than 2 runs per 8 hour shift and 1 run over night are not possible for us. That's the same workload we did with the XT. There are windows during the run, when you can add new slides and reagens. If the needed reagens in on the instrument, you can add them any time, if there's enough place. But the run will last longer and you have to wait for a window of the longer run to get the reagens off the instrument. Ready stained slides can be taken out independently. But the free pads cannot be filled and runs started, until you have the possibility to add the right reagens. So we decided to stay with patch-workload and real go-away.

We are considering switching from the Benchmark XT to the Ultra but would like to hear from users about this instrument. Is there an increase in reagent cost? Can you really add more slides without adding time to the run?
