Finally, there’s a product that meets your need for speed and desire for accuracy. With the Thermo Scientific PrintMate, every specimen cassette is quickly printed. Plus, it’s flexible enough to handle a single cassette or large cases with multiple cassettes—at the same rapid pace and the same level of precision. As your workload grows, so does your PrintMate; from 2 to 6 and 6 to 12 hoppers; your workload will never obsolete your printer.
Because every cassette is clearly marked with barcodes that are easy-to-read, you can identify and match samples without error. For even greater peace of mind and convenience, the barcoded information can be used to automatically print slides at the microtome, eliminating slide printing errors. So regardless of the job ahead, you’ll never have to slow down to achieve reliable, high-quality results.
