Superior Technology for Automated Labeling
And Barcode Identification
of Tissue Cassettes
The ID/Positive Laser Cassette Marker provides permanent and indelible marking of tissue cassettes with text, linear barcodes, and two-dimensional barcodes. It is specifically suited to meet the most critical needs of laboratories to mark, identify and track cassettes as part of a barcode-based specimen identification, error-proofing and workflow management system. With the ID/Positive Laser Cassette Marker, cassettes are permanently labeled and positively identified for the life of the cassette, from grossing through archiving.

High-Resolution Text and Barcodes
Cassettes are marked using a focused low-power CO2 laser that ablates a special
polymer coating on the front of the cassette. The precision laser used in this
patented process produces high-resolution and high-contrast alphanumeric text, linear
barcodes, and two-dimensional barcodes that scan quickly and easily. There are no
ink or impact ribbons needed, and no ink nozzles that clog. The text and barcodes
are extremely durable and able to withstand the harshest reagents and solvents
without fading or other damage. The high-resolution barcodes remain scannable
throughout the entire lab process.
Efficient Lab Workflow
The ID/Positive Laser Cassette Marker supports an efficient “one-off” processing
model where tissue cassettes are uniquely identified as they are produced. Barcoded
cassettes can be scanned anywhere in the lab to quickly and correctly identify the
cassette and any corresponding case information. Scanning barcoded cassettes also
ensures efficient and error-free slide production and identification with
StainerShield slide labels at the cutting stations.
CL-12 - 12 Magazine Carousel Auto-Feed Model
Designed for the Needs of Today’s High-Volume Labs
Designed for high-volume labs, the CL-12 model features 12 cassette magazines that can hold up to 70
cassettes each. Different cassette colors can be loaded into each of the magazines, or multiple magazines can
contain a single color. The CL-12 features fast, efficient marking of high-resolution linear and 2-D barcodes on the cassettes, which are then directed to one of four output bins or stacking trays
that organize the cassettes based on printing sequence.
The CL-12 can be placed on a desk or workstation in
the accessioning or grossing area.
CL-01 - Single Magazine Auto-Feed Model
Compact Design, Exceptional Performance
The CL-01 Laser Cassette Marker is designed for labs that use a lower volume of cassettes, or that only utilize a single cassette color or type. The CL-01 is also ideal for a "distributed printing" workflow model, where multiple cassette markers can be placed throughout the lab, including on a desk, workstation, or on a grossing bench under the hood.
The CL-01 features a removable magazine that holds up to 70 cassettes, which can be easily switched with other magazines containing different cassette types or colors.
ID/Positive Tissue and Biopsy Cassettes
Designed Specifically for ID/Positive Laser Cassette Marker
This family of cassettes is designed for use with ID/Positive Laser Cassette Markers. They feature integral,
one-piece lids that can be locked securely, yet can be opened, closed and re-locked. The 45° anterior area is
coated with a patented polymer for permanent, high-resolution marking of text and barcodes.
