ASR and FRO (RUO) reagents

To All:

This inquiry is to get some info on ASR (Analyte Specific Reagents) versus
FRO or RUO (Research use Only) reagents.
The question is in the lableing of the reagents.  Are these reagents labeled
as such from the manufacturer as of this date?
Does each lab need to validate the reasearch reagents or ASR reagents
according to specificity?

How are your labs addressing this situation.  Are you handling this
different than what you have done in the past.

Input from vendors is acceptable.

I am not real clear on this issue.
