7. Optimizing instrumentation:
The good news about modern laboratory automation for IHC and FISH procedures is the amount of time that can be saved by technologists relative to manual procedures. The bad news is that automated immunostainers, if not properly optimized, are associated with much higher reagent utilization, and therefore expense, compared to manual techniques. Choosing the proper instrumentation solution for your laboratory is key to a cost-effective IHC testing operation. AP has extensive experience with the commercial automation systems available today, and will assist you in the selection of an automation solution to fit your budget and testing volume requirements.
