[Histonet] Charging for requested slides

[Pamela Marcum]

I totally agree with getting the money upfront.  Think about it the lawyer is going to charge the client for getting the slides whether you do or not.  Your time is valuable and should be compensated by whatever hourly rate you feel you/your laboratory spent for the extra effort and reagents.  Don't give away your work and time.

Yes and, in addition, we collect payment before we do any of the work.  Occasionally, after being informed of our charges, they cancel their request(s).

Greetings, 

>From time to time we get requests from law firms and other outside 
agencies to supply recuts and/or h&e slides. Sometimes these requests 
can be time-consuming. Is anyone out there charging for these services?
