These are the most widely used IHC stainers in histology. These machines were kept operating on a 24hour basis 7 days a week. They only came down for maintenance, repair, and decontamination. I’m really surprised that they didn’t break down more. Ventana reps were always fixing them, but only because they basically operated non-stop since they hit the production floor. Amazing work horse machine that does beautiful staining.

I was also in charge of doing decontaminations on these instruments.
