Sharon:
               I have used both the Ventana and the Lab Vision, (the one Dako distributes because the only one Dako makes is called Eridan and it doesn't work) ,and several others not worth mentioning, but if I had my choice I would probably have  several of each. If there are people with limited experience and knowledge in the area of IHC, then the Ventana is along those lines however if you are wanting to work up a novel antibody from scratch then you need an open platform where you can run an experiment and the Lab Vision gives you that freedom.

  I have recently been given the assignment of implementing a new and
updated IHC system in our Histology department. We currently use a Dako
Autostainer which we have used for several years and needs to be
updated. I have limited in expertise in this are so am asking for all
you Histonetters who have experience with this to give me some advice on
which stainer to purchase. Let me know all of your thoughts both good
and bad please. Thank you so much for your help.
