[Histonet] cassette labels erased by processor

[Malika Benatti]

Hi there,

I would suggest to use a pencil rather than a marker pen to label  
cassettes when processing cassette with the Sakura VIP , my lab had a  
number of the so called solvent proof pen on trial and have yet to  
find one that survive processing.
