FAQs

1. What type of laser does the Infrared Cassette Printer use, and how does it benefit laboratory operations?

Infrared Cassette Printer is equipped with a 20W fiber laser operating at a wavelength of 1060 nm. This advanced laser technology allows for high-resolution, permanent markings directly on tissue cassettes without requiring ink or ribbon. This not only reduces consumable costs but also enhances marking durability against solvents, abrasion, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for routine use in histopathology labs.

2. How does the Infrared Cassette Printer handle large volumes of cassettes in high-throughput environments?

Infrared Cassette Printer is designed to support high-volume workflows with a cassette loading capacity of up to 300 cassettes. It features an automatic batch printing function that streamlines processing, and the cassette system includes six loading slots and strips that can be quickly replenished during operation. Additionally, the printer can auto-detect errors and issue alerts to avoid misprints or workflow interruptions.

3. Can the Infrared Cassette Printer be used with barcodes and manual input simultaneously?

Yes, our Infrared Cassette Printer supports both manual data entry and barcode scanning input. This dual-input capability ensures flexibility in lab workflows—whether operators are printing individual samples or processing large batches based on barcode-linked patient data. It also improves traceability and reduces the chance of human error.

4. How durable is the Infrared Cassette Printer and what is its expected laser life?

Infrared Cassette Printer is built for intensive daily use, and has a life expectancy of over 100,000 hours. Its air-cooled design, stable beam quality (M² < 1.8), and precision marking speed of up to 30,000 mm/s make it a robust and reliable solution for long-term laboratory applications.

5. What is an Infrared Cassette Printer?

An Infrared Cassette Printer is a laser-based device designed to print permanent, high-resolution markings directly onto tissue cassettes without the use of ink or ribbons. It uses a 1060 nm wavelength fiber laser to etch information onto the plastic surface, making it ideal for high-volume laboratories that prioritize speed, accuracy, and long-term sample traceability.

6. Are the markings printed by Infrared Cassette Printer durable and resistant to lab chemicals?

Yes, the markings produced by Infrared Cassette Printers are permanent and highly resistant to solvents like xylene, formalin, and alcohol, as well as to high temperatures encountered during tissue processing. This ensures patient data remains intact throughout every stage of histological preparation.

7. Yes, the markings produced by Infrared Cassette Printers are permanent and highly resistant to solvents like xylene, formalin, and alcohol, as well as

Yes, most of Infrared Cassette Printers support seamless integration with Laboratory Information Systems () and Hospital Information Systems (). This allows automated data input, barcode printing, and real-time sample tracking, minimizing human error and improving laboratory efficiency.

8. What information can be printed on the cassettes using Infrared Cassette Printer?

Infrared Cassette Printer can mark alphanumeric text, barcodes (1D/2D), QR codes, and symbols. This makes them ideal for applications requiring detailed sample identification, such as biopsy or surgical pathology laboratories.
