[Histonet] Microscope Slide Storage/Database

[Jackie.O'Connor <@t> abbott.com]

I use a FileMaker Pro Database to track all the tissues, processing, IHC 
stains, number of blocks and slides, etc. All my work is strictly 
internal, not like a hospital environment.    It has proven invaluable for 
our needs in a research setting.  We have the software installed on a lab 
computer, as well as a common drive so that all persons can at least view 
the information (I'm reluctant to let everyone have access to edit any 
information).  I deal with over 100 cell lines and tumor types, and this 
software enables me to sort information for all colon tumors, or one type 
of colon tumor, or all Caspase-3 stains, etc.  I'm currently in the 
process of defining a database for Tissue Microarrays as well.  I assign 
consecutive access numbers to each trial or experiment, and can track all 
the data by that number.

        Subject:        [Histonet] Microscope Slide Storage/Database


Could people please describe the different ways that they organize and 
store their finished microscope slides? We would like to adopt a new 
method to organize, store and also have a computer database of our slides. 
What computer programs do people use/recommend for this purpose?
 
THank you
 
Phil
