I am looking for a slide/block labeling system. I am particularly interested
in those that will interface with Meditech and was wondering what people are
using and what they like/don't like about them.
Is anyone using the Thermo Slidemate? I was talking with the rep yesterday and

Hi all!
Anyone out there have any recommendations for dictation systems? I have the

Our processor has gone down but we can process up to the paraffin step. My
question is how long can we keep the tissues in the formula 83 without any
visible problems? We would like to start processing tonight and possibly

DAKO is discontinuing its product 'Liquid DAB' and wants its clients to
use the Liquid DAB+ in its place. I have tried this product before and
