[Histonet] slide id

[Jesus Ellin]

We use the Sunquest PowerPath system,, it is completely Integrated and track almost all event within the facilities,, we are starting to look and track electronic assets, which are not new ideas but most systems out there are not designed with this in mind.  We can print off the assets number for old cassettes and slides so we can track in from older cases since the asset ID is created from one single database,,  with multiple databases there are issue  with electronic assets,, this is an important  fact you must discuss with your APLIS and also any third party vendor,, this becomes even more complicated when you start talking about digital slides and electronic transactions . Good luck and keep going strong

Do you generate new barcoded labels and affix them to the materials prior to sending them out (for tracking purposes)?
