[Histonet] Cassette lableler and slide labeler

[Michael Mihalik]

James, I think I can respond to this as I am an LIS vendor.

The short answer is that it should NOT be an issue, ASSUMING your LIS vendor
can communicate/interface with the two instruments.

Once the barcode is on the cassette or the slide, it becomes a standalone
entity.  The barcode on the cassette or slide then gets read by a barcode
scanner.  Every scanner I've run across can read multiple symbologies (bar
code types, if you will).  Some scanners read better than others, though.

I am assuming that you're  generating cassettes and slides through your LIS.
If you're using the cassette/slide printer vendor's software to do this,
then that changes things.

If you'd like further clarification or discussion, feel free to email me.

I didn't plan on this however wondered if anyone  had a General Data system
for making cassettes but a different setup for making slides, such as a
Thermo Slidemate.

I suspect there are issues with the LIS system, barcoding, etc.    Am I
wrong?
