Get Kitted Out For Clearer Histology Labelling!

April 19, 2010 - PRLog -- This unique labelling system guarantees accurate identification of tissue samples throughout histological processing, using Brady’s chemical-resistant labels and innovative label application technology.

Each BSP™31 Kit incorporates the BSP™31 Label Attachment System, designed to mechanically fasten an adhesive label to a tissue cassette, and a Brady BBP™11 compact desktop printer for high quality, low-cost thermal transfer printing. In addition, Full Kits include a CR500 Barcode Reader, Brady Tissue Cassette Labels and StainerBondz™ Slide Labels, together with Thermal Transfer Ribbon. Light Kits are also available without any of these additional items.
Brady labels fit the most commonly used tissue cassettes, providing absolute text clarity and incorporating a 2D barcode to maximise information content and improve lab efficiency. Printed with the specifically developed thermal transfer ribbon and applied using the Brady BSP™31 Label Attachment System, Brady’s chemical-resistant labels are guaranteed to stick to tissue cassettes throughout processing, embedding, sectioning and storage for up to 20 years.

Richard Kapusniak, Manager, Materials, New Products & Technology, commented: ‘Illegible handwriting and labels that fall off tissue cassettes during processing have been recurring problems in histology labs. The BSP™31 Full Kits deliver a complete solution, conveniently including everything needed to start work right away. Users can quickly print clear, information-rich labels for cassettes and slides, with barcodes if required, and these are then fixed permanently to cassettes using the BSP™31 Label Attachment System. We’ve even included a barcode reader to help speed sample throughput.’

A BSP™ Cleaning Brush Kit and BSP™ Filter Kit are also available for routine care of the BSP™31 Label Attachment System.
