[Histonet] Bar Code System

[Ronan, John]

Hi,
Is there a reliable bar code system that any one is using to lable specimen 
containers, slides and labels in Histology especially on the pharmaceutical 
side?
Linda

Linda,

Leica's cassette and slide printer will print barcodes.  You can use a
database program like ACCESS or Filemaker Pro to print labels for specimen
containers.  You will also need to barcode the shelves that the specimens
will be on.  You Can then use the database program to accession, track, and
archive.
