[Histonet] bar-coding

[Carol Bryant]

Does anyone have SoftPath 4.2?  If so, do you know if it has the capability to produce bar-coded specimen labels?  I am looking into various methods to reduce re-entry of case data and eliminate handwriting of cassettes and slides.  I know Ventana's Vantage system can do this for histology, but we also have cytology processing in our lab.  I would like to find something that would be uniform for both cytology and histology processing and interface with SoftPath.  However, if SoftPath could do this, even better.

Thank you in advance for any input.
