We have Triple G LIS - and just yesterday completed interface with Sakura cassette and slide printers. It is amazing - bar code and all. Barcoding is not active yet, but will be with next version of our LIS. 

As far as recycled xylene - I will that to a better expert. To my knowledge it never expires!

Subject: [Histonet] microwriters

Does anyone have a system in use that labels cassettes and slides and is
hooked into your computer system, I believe they are called
microwriters?  They have available to the system a bar code reader.  We
are looking to go that route in 2006, but wondering of some feedback
from users!!

Also, how long do you use your recycled xylene?  Do you have outdates or
expiration dates on the recycled xylene?  An inspector for JACHO asked
the question, and we were not able to give a good answer!
