I don't have documentation to say there's a decrease or increase, but we don't find it to be a problem at all. The cassettes are put on top of each container and seem to live there. We do have them bar-coded and in our ideal world, we would check, but our system doesn't work all the way through yet!

Our pathologists are hesitant because they worry too many pre-printed cassettes could get mixed up. -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]on Behalf Of Weems, Joyce Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 12:36 PM To: Nancy Schmitt; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] RE: Cassette/slide labelers - again We have GE Ultra - formerly Triple G. Cassettes are printed on our Sakura printer at accessioning (number is attached to the specimen) and more printed at grossing if needed. We use multiple colors of cassettes - the color is tied to the specimen of can be changed for decal. Slides are printed on our Sakura slide printer in batch by case type. Charged slides on in one hopper and printing is directed there for the necessary printing through the soft ware. It was painful getting the interface done, but once it was, it has been a good thing.

Do they interface smoothly? Do your cassettes get printed at accession or grossing? Are you using multiple colors of cassettes? What are you doing for slides that require levels or a mix of non-charged and charged slides? Thank you for any and all input!
