Slide printing

Laboratory slide printer for histology workflows

For labs evaluating direct-on-slide UV laser marking — with IFU-backed UVP202001 specs and dual-hopper UVP202001D options for mixed slide workflows.

Slide printer evaluation basics

A laboratory slide printer must fit the slide stock, print the required fields, receive data from the bench or LIS/LIMS, and fit the operating environment. Start with physical compatibility and template design before comparing headline speed claims.

  • Confirm slide dimensions against current inventory
  • Define print area, barcode type, and human-readable fields
  • Validate scan reliability after routine handling
  • Plan filter maintenance; no ink or ribbons does not mean no maintenance

Single vs dual hopper

The UVP202001 single-hopper model fits labs with one dominant slide type. The UVP202001D dual-hopper model is worth evaluating when mixed slide stocks create reload delays — but automatic hopper selection logic should be validated in a demo or user manual.

  • UVP202001: IFU-backed up to 4 seconds per slide with caveats
  • UVP202001: external filter replacement every 10,000–30,000 prints
  • UVP202001D: service-manual-backed dual slide-handling hardware
  • Both support LIS/LIMS-connected workflows with cautious language
