Just curious if anyone has procurred an Olympus Tango, and is willing to share experiences. We will go automated soon and am trying to decide Echo or Tango.

I liked both demonstrations, but was leaning towards Tango for ease of QC and onboard reagent stability. Thanks. Jim.

I actually preferred the Tango over the ECHO and the ProVue, because of its ease of use, refrigerated reagents, and the ability to do 140 specimens at once. We went with the ProVue however, due to the FDA licensure of the panels and antigen typing, which is what we were mainly looking for and the Tango is yet to be licenced (should be by this summer though)
