[Histonet] Cassette Marking

[sgoebel <@t> xbiotech.com]

As compared to a lawsuit, yes it's cheaper.  But, when trying to explain
to a budget committee that you need something to label things that you
can do by hand...they usually don't see the point.  This brings me back
to my original point of mislabelling things 2 times in a year...

 I'm somewhat surprised that many labs are still handwriting blocks and 
slides. If you are using a LIS, can it integrate printing blocks and 
slides? Is the cost too high to add the printing capability? The cost of

equipment is so cheap compared with one lawsuit.

It would also reduce the stress of loosing your job over a labeling 
mistake. Just seems like a win win for everyone.
