Voice Brook seems to be the market leader. They are powered by Nuance and Dragon which are the market leaders in the consumer market. However, they are pricy. Nuance offers a service that is more similar to a remote transcription service, however my guess is they rely heavily on their

Allison, it starts with what your objectives are: If you simply want your reports to present information in a certain format, then a word processor, optionally coupled with Dragon and optionally coupled with Voicebrook will work. If you need to send the data in it's individual components to

For those with the Sakura Glas coverslippers, what type of mounting media are you using in these? Sakura recommends only their brand of course, but I want something that dries faster. We do not have excess mounting media on the outside of our slides, but after being in the oven for three days

Hi Dorothy, Take a quick look at the NSH website for job listings and maybe another career's website like Simplyhired.com or Monster and get some idea as to how the jobs for IHC lead techs are listed. The problem with making absolute requirements (BS, HTL, QIHC, etc) is there are a set of

I heartily concur. I have had dealings in the past with Acme lab company, and their rocket- powered roller skates did NOT reduce our TAT as they initially claimed. We still have dozens of anvils, which they recommended we purchase, cluttering up the lab.

By far the best ab for endothelial cells in mouse tissue is rat anti CD31 from Dianovo, it picks up the really early forming vessels better than any other cd31 or F8 or SMA I have ever used. We like it in AP/red. Regards, Patsy Hi, My favorite by far is VonWillebrandt (spelling?) factor
