Hi out there in Histo Land!

I would like your assistance in answering a question that was  
proposed by a friend who is not a histonet member.  I don't have the  
answer, but know that one of you would.  Below is the question:

Could you help me justify the importance of interfacing our IHC bond  
and Cassette labelers to Co-Path? A simple paragraph,  or if you  
have, a white paper, that would be great.  I am attempting to get the  
interfaces approved through our IT Department and running up against  
some roadblocks.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,
