Abstract

Dako has been an industry leader developing automated staining instruments for decades. We have invited Dako to offer perspectives and insights on the past, present, and future of automated staining systems. Experts from Dako answer questions regarding what automation can and cannot provide, how automation can improve workflow and secure high staining quality, gains from connection to laboratory information systems, automated in situ hybridization assays, and the next steps in automation of staining and other processes in the pathology laboratory.
