Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for tracking a slide comprising a tissue sample. In an embodiment, data is received from a Laboratory Information System (LIS) barcode associated with a slide and a proprietary barcode generated by a slide staining system, such as a Ventana slide staining system, to track the slide through the staining process. A new label is printed that contains both the LIS barcode and the proprietary barcode, and is attached to the slide. When the slide is subsequently scanned by a slide scanning system, the slide scanning system reads and decodes the LIS barcode to obtain a LIS barcode value. The LIS barcode value may then be used to retrieve information associated with the slide.
