Subject: [Histonet] Cassette labeling

Good morning all, 

 

I hope all here in the East are prepared for the storm, (considering I am in New England and it is February it is not all that surprising to me yet I am always amazed at the commotion that occurs with every impending snow, but I digress). I know many out there may have cassette labelers so this may not be an issue but for those who still label by hand I am curious as to how you label. At my previous lab besides the case number (S13-accession number), we also indicated how to embed the pieces (= for on edge), and the number of pieces in the cassette. I am just curious as to how common this practice is or if there is any other way you annotate the number of pieces expected in a cassette. Thank you in advance for any feedback you provide as I have received many helpful responses to my previous posts.
