[Histonet] Ventana Labels

[Mark Tarango]

Hi Matthew,

We use them and they work fine.  They are much cheaper too.  We've had them
for about 3 years.  I initially had some concerns about the DAB being
absorbed and staining the labels on some cases.  Our safety person told me
that it's not a safety concern and it's safe to touch the label after it's
stained brown by DAB.  This doesn't happen on every slide but is a random
thing.  It might have something to do with how well it was affixed to the
slide.

The labels don't affect the staining in my experience.
