We use the specimen or accessioning number and the patient name as the two 
identifiers and that seems to meet the criteria.  We use the Thermo cassette 
writer and it transfers the information to the slides.

Subject: [Histonet] Two identifiers...

Hello all,

For those of you using cassette and slide labelers....
Does your system permit you to print the accession number, patient name, and  
DOB on the face of the cassette?  Are you using the specimen number and name as 
your two identifiers?
