[Histonet] H&E slide cost

[Richard Cartun]

I apologize for asking this question since I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I need an answer ASAP.  How much does it cost to produce an H&E-stained slide from formalin-fixed tissue?  We want to give this figure to our new residents and fellows who start tomorrow in order to show them how much it costs the laboratory to produce the tissue that they submit.  Thanks!
