I am very happy with ours. Our system is from General Data.  Specimen container labels are printed at accessioning, that label is scanned at grossing and cassettes are printed.  Those cassettes are then scanned at the microtome and slide labels for that block only are printed from a small printer located at the microtome.

We were unable to interface with our LIS (Meditech) so as a workaround, we have to print a report that sends the information over to the General Data system.

There were some issues early on but it has proven to be a good system.  I will be expanding it to include Cytology later this year.

Hi:

I'm new to this website, and anxious to learn from all. At this point, i'm wondering if anyone could give me any information on the general use of bar coding in histology. Such as available vendors, and necessary equipment, mostly your personal experiences with this system.


Thanks,

Shannon
