Thought I'd forward this to this list.  Seems to me I saw someone else ask
a similar question here on histonet, but I didn't pay much attention to the
replies.
Thanks,
Bruce

Has anyone gone through the tedious process of figuring what it costs/slide
to produce an H&E slide?  Just the materials/reagents costs is primarily
what I need, without the manpower or instrument depreciation etc...  If you
have done this within the last year and would be good enough to share that
information I would greatly appreciate it.

TIA
