[Histonet] Cost analysis

[Dessoye, Michael J]

Hello all,
 
I've been asked to update some dated test cost information.  I need to
come up with a a total cost (materials, burden [common materials] and
labor) for IHC, ISH, special stains, and routine H&E (to include
processing, embedding, cutting, staining).  I'm not too concerned with
IHC and special stains, but I'm hoping to get some input regarding
routine H&E and associated work because there's a lot of factors to
consider and many are variable.  Has anyone done this, and would mind
providing some thoughts on this process?
