Greetings everyone,
I've turned to the histonet a lot these days as I set up a new lab.  I so
appreciate the voluminous information that is shared on this site!
On to my next question:  are there many places using barcoding for
cassettes/slides in histology?  Do you like it? In what ways has barcoding
made a difference?  If not too involved to answer, what kinds of things do I
need to consider for our software and lab info system?  (We have an in-house
developed software)  I'm realizing what a major task this is to think about
barcoding.....any help appreciated!!!!
