[Histonet] Caveat about true "Sharpie" marker pens for tissue cassettes Re:Colored Cassettes for multi institution study

[Gayle Callis]

Caveat:  True Sharpie marker, per se, ink is washed off by processing 
solvents.  Are you refering to the STATMARK PEN (StatLab) or Superfrost 
Marker II pen that LOOK like "sharpie" markers but have special ink that 
stays on plastic cassettes?
