1 Thermo Scientific Labelling Solutions PrintMate Cassette Printer SlideMate Slide Labeller LabWriter Software enhance workflow efficiency improve patient safety

2 Thermo Scientific labelling solutions reduce patient identification errors with on-demand printing TISSUE PROCESSING EMBEDDING GROSSING Tissue Cassettes are printed on-demand by simply scanning barcoded specimen containers / requisition forms and selecting key variables via a simple input device: barcode scanner, keyboard or touchscreen PC. Slide Review Text and barcodes are printed directly on the microscope slides to ensure accurate patient identification during slide review and diagnosis

3 MICROTOMY Slides are printed on-demand during sectioning at the precise moment they are needed. Simple scanning of the barcoded cassettes and selection of key variables via an input device, such as a barcode scanner, keyboard or touchscreen. Ensures sample integrity and improves workflow. STAINING COVERSLIPPING ARCHIVAL Printed cassettes and slides are easy to read, enabling quick and accurate retrieval from archival storage. Improving turnaround time IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY Slides for IHC are printed on demand at the microtome to include the requisite text and barcodes to automate the IHC staining process. Minimises operator interaction, improving efficiency, accuracy and standardisation.

4 deliver LEAN workflow... reduce errors in your laboratory Thermo Scientific PrintMate and Thermo Scientific SlideMate printers, the latest in on-demand cassette and slide printers are designed to reduce specimen labelling errors and improve workflow within the laboratory. Designed for leaner workflow, PrintMate prints cassettes at the Grossing Workstation, while SlideMate prints slides during sectioning at the microtome. Printing on-demand at the moment the cassette or slide is required reduces the risk of error in specimen identification and improves workflow. Recent studies show slide labelling errors alone account for 67 percent of laboratory defects. Using the PrintMate and SlideMate printers, laboratories can scan barcodes to automatically print cassettes and slides one case at a time at individual work stations, improving accuracy and reducing specimen mix-ups. The advanced printing features of the PrintMate and SlideMate ensure that laboratories are equipped to exceed the latest regulations and maintain laboratory accreditation. The printers share qualities key to on-demand printing, flexibility for varying workloads and high-quality printing, ensuring that each cassette and slide can be clearly marked with a 2D barcode and fully legible printed text. Compact and cost-effective, both printers have a small footprint and require little lab worktop space. Compatibility with Thermo Scientific software and connectivity with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) ensures efficient integration with laboratory workflow.
