Dako Slide Labeling System
With the
Slide Labeling System, you can print customized slide labels directly from the
workstation PC to the
label printer on demand prior to slide processing and staining. Each label
has a surface for printed text and a chemical-resistant flap to protect the text. Labels are resistant
to heat and to chemicals such as xylene, xylene substitutes, ethanol, methanol and other common
solvents and histological stains.
The Artisan™ Link Instrument scans the
slide labels on the slide carousel.
