Why xylene resistance matters
Cassette identifiers can be exposed to harsh processing conditions. A smudged or unreadable cassette mark creates traceability risk, especially in diagnostic pathology workflows where each specimen must stay linked to the right accession data.
- Formalin, ethanol, xylene, and paraffin exposure are common in tissue processing
- Barcode readability matters beyond the initial print event
- Direct marking can reduce reliance on ink or adhesive label surfaces
- Sample output should be reviewed for your cassette material and workflow
