Thank you to users who shared the use of pencils for labeling their cassettes.


Sakura is also able to support the use of pencils to hand label Tissue-Tek
Cassettes.  Only Tissue-Tek Pencils have been tested by Sakura for labeling the
Tissue-Tek Cassettes. 

Best regards,   Nancy

Histonetters,

Please listen when I tell you that a #2 lead pencil works best for
processing cassettes!  I know it goes against everything you have learned
over the years, you know how in the medical field you have to buy the
highest priced items.  In this case, it is not true.  I wouldn't spend 50
cents on a marking pen for cassettes.  A #2 lead pencil is the way to go.
Can anyone back me up on this?  Give the pencil a try-you'll be happy you
did!
