[Histonet] RE: Specimen numbering systems
We do Alpha numeric so A1,A2 but our samples also get barcodes so we have a barcode ID that picks up whatever you designate it to and it is AAA001234 (designating a block) the slides then become AAA001234 0001, AAA001234 0002 etc. ties it back to the block and uniquely identified (called parent and children) The hitch here is if you had, say a colon it would be the (parent) and each block created would be a child and then technically the slides become the grandchildren. It works, but can be confusing at times - we're still working out the kinks. Turns out NCI and NIH use the system.
