[Histonet] RE: cassette slide/labeling

[Mahoney,Janice A]

I would highly recommend the Vantage system.  We have had it in place for over 2 years and our accuracy rate went from about 94-94% to over 99.9%.  We have had only 2 numbering errors in Histo in over 2 years.(due to people not following procedure correctly)  The system does so much more that tracking.  The statistical reports are wonderful.
Please contact me off line if you want to know details.

Subject: [Histonet] cassette slide/labeling

We are looking to get a bar-coded system in our laboratory.  We currently hand write all cassettes and slides.  What labelers do you have and do you like them?  Also does anyone have the Ventana Vantage system?   If so, would you recommend Vantage?
