Our Pathologist presently label the cassettes at the time of grossing.
We have decided it would be better for the someone else to do that task.
We have a very small grossing area, and we will be labeling by hand.  I
am looking to the group for ideas concerning;

                1) When are cassettes labeled ... when the specimens are
stocked or at accessioning ... 

                2) How are the cassettes stored before the days grossing
take place.  Remembering we have a small area ... the table will need to
be clear for frozen sections, etc. 

                3)  Is there a resource for typical number of cassettes
for particular specimens.  The pathologists are having difficulty
agreeing on that issue. 

Thanks as always 

Gary
