We have. I don't recall the amount dispensed but my notes say the cost, per
slide, is as follows:
LCS $.02
CC1.28
EZ Prep $.15
Reaction Buffer $.02
Ultra View kit $5.09
My brain keeps telling me the dispensed amount is 1,uL? Tech support at Ventana
is great about answering those questions.
The ultra view platform changed its clearing process in November. After
staining slides are to be run through two changes of soapy water and then
distilled water. After that is done they go on a slide dryer/warmer for at
least 15 minutes before going into xylene and then coverslipped. Our sales
One great thing is that it does everything on the machine. It deparrifinizes as
well as stains. The ultra view platform has even simplified the steps from
machine to coverslipping. It can be set to run overnight. It has delayed timers
for starting or ending.
