COVER STORY: SlideMate TSP: on-demand slide printing and enhanced traceability

Epredia’s new SlideMate Thermal Slide Printer delivers on-demand slide printing and enhanced traceability for pathology laboratories.

Epredia, a provider of precision cancer diagnostics solutions and a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation, has launched its new SlideMate Thermal Slide Printer (TSP). SlideMate TSP is the newest addition to the company’s SlideMate portfolio of slide printers, which are used in pathology laboratories to identify and help track tissue samples. 

Building on the technology of its award-winning SlideMate Laser printer, Epredia has engineered the SlideMate TSP to help clinical laboratories of any size to protect tissue samples, strengthen sample traceability, and streamline workflow efficiency during cancer diagnosis. 

The SlideMate TSP creates crisp, permanent thermal transfer printing on microscope slides with modernised features designed to maximise product performance and reduce laboratory workflow interruptions. Print speed is less than four seconds per slide, keeping pace with today’s busy laboratories.

Printing directly on to slides assists in minimising traceability errors due to label transfer. Notable features include enclosed slide hoppers to protect samples from potential dust contamination, coupled with mechanical slide movement that offers smoother handling than gravity-fed solutions. While lateral slide movement helps slides avoid being chipped or damaged during the printing process.
