Dako Autostainer Link 48
Automated Immunohistochemistry Staining System Specifications
Introduction The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has a requirement for two (2), bench top, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining instruments to upgrade its capabilities at its Lethbridge and Winnipeg laboratory facilities. The CFIA Lethbridge Laboratory is home to one of four OIE BSE Reference Laboratories and the Canadian BSE Reference Laboratory. The Winnipeg Laboratory participates in annual proficiency testing distributed by the Reference Laboratory as well as serving as the "back-up" laboratory for BSE confirmation. The BSE reference laboratory' s mandate is the confirmation of suspect samples (including international suspect cases), quality assurance & quality control for BSE screening laboratories and validation of test methods. The main test to confirm BSE in a sample is by IHC.
1. Mandatory Physical Specifications: 1a. Footprint size can not exceed: 27 " D x 90 " W 1b. Electrical specifications: 120 V 1c. Bench top configuration to accommodate limited space
2. Mandatory Performance Specifications: 2a. Large run capacity, minimum 48 slides, through put run time of 48 slides including deparafinization, rehydration and pretreatments must be completed in 3-5 hours. 2b. Capability of running multiple protocols (5-10), with varying reagent volumes and incubation times simultaneously within a single staining rack. 2c. Completely "open" system - flexibility of using in-house antibodies, reagents from multiple vendors (veterinary and research applications) including wash buffer, target retrievals, kits, serum block, blocking agents, chromogens and slides.

Multiple reagent vial capacity, capable of using a minimum of 5 antibodies per run, as well as multiple detection kits simultaneously. 2e. Ability to create and use in-house custom protocols. 2f. Ability to separates hazardous waste from non-hazardous waste, resulting in the minimal generation of hazardous waste. 2g. Variable reagent dispensing volume capabilities, ranging from 100 - 500ul. 2h. Dropzone variability on a slide-by-slide basis. 2i. Capability of running double and triple stains 2j. Ability to print slide labels while the IHC run is running. 2k. Ability to connect with both LAN and WAN systems. 2l. Ability to provide standardized and customized printable IHC reports (for example capturing what pretreatment, antibody, kit and chromogen was used during a run) 2m. Ability to produce customized printable quality reports (for example capturing kit lot numbers) and searches with the autostainer software. 2n. Complete traceability of slides, reagents and software events. 2o. All peripheral equipment required to run the stainer including: computer, keyboard, mouse, monitor, server for WAN capabilities, report printer, slide label printer, barcode reader, uninterrupted power supply, surge protector. All components must fit in above stated footprint.
3. Preferred Specifications 3a. Ability to have a delayed run start.
4. Additional Requirements: 4a. 12 month warranty on parts and labor 4b. preventative maintenance visit one year following installation including parts, labor and travel. 4c. On-site technical installation. 4d. Expert Immunohistochemistry Technical Specialist available for troubleshooting with complete product knowledge (please provide customer references to support). 4e. Expert service technician located in Canada to ensure quick response time (
