And we use barcodeing, even tho all of the end users do not. We'll get there eventually! This big of a change takes a while. We get labels from Printer's Plus and are very happy with them. They are very thin and very secure. We also now have a Sakura slide printer - that is interfaced with our LIS. We still write our initial on the slides. We have unique bar codes for the case, each specimen, each block, and each slide. If they are used properly, many chances for error are eliminated.
Good luck to us all as we move into the future. Hope everyone is surviving the stock market challenge.
