Hi,

we had a Stedycon demo end of last year for 3 weeks. We could only test
it for 1 week as abberior couldn't get it into working condition for 2
weeks. We have been very disappointed with the quality of their service.

As Josef already mentioned the device is quite restricted in what it can
do. Furthermore, we observed photoconversion of the STAR RED dye which
can make interpreting your results quite an adventure.

If you want more details about our test please feel free to contact me
off list.

Best,

Christian
