Victor, We are a research lab and don't generate near the amount of specimens that a clinical lab would. We were happy to get an automatic stainer and coverslipper!

If you are using a LIS, can it integrate printing blocks and slides? Is the cost too high to add the printing capability? The cost of equipment is so cheap compared with one lawsuit. It would also reduce the stress of loosing your job over a labeling mistake. Just seems like a win win for everyone.
