Buying criteria that matter
The best cassette printer for a histology lab is the one that keeps specimen identity readable and scannable through the lab's real workflow. Start with cassette compatibility, post-processing durability, daily volume, and how accession data reaches the label.
- Will marks remain readable after your lab's formalin, ethanol, xylene, paraffin, and handling workflow?
- Do barcodes scan at grossing, embedding, microtomy, and archive?
- Does print speed and hopper capacity match peak shift volume?
- Can LIMS/HIMS fields reach the template without retyping?
