[Histonet] Cost calculations

[Charles Riley]

How does everyone calculate their cost to create things in your lab?

I was tasked to figure out how much it costs us to make the following
1. A paraffin block
2. A single H&E slide
3. Average cost of an IHC slide
4. Average cost of a Special stain slide

What I need to figure out is beside the cost on the inventory to create
these items what other factors do I need/should use to calculate final
costs (i.e. tech time, energy costs, machine maintenance....)?
