Instrument Components and Specifications
Features to bear in mind are:
• Reading tolerance:
Difference between actual bar width and nominal module size.
• Light color:
For getting a high contrast the light color of the bar code scanner should be complementary to the
color of the cassettes being used.
• Optical resolution:
Must be better than the module size.
Depending on the application, the following features should also be considered:
• Maximum readable distance
• Maximum inclination angle
Leica has successfully tested the
Resistance against reagents
Warning
Note that each laboratory must perform its own tests to ensure that the ink has no trouble
withstanding the subsequent treatment of the cassettes with various reagents.
A wide range of factors beyond Leica's control can have negative effects on the results.
The test conditions stated below can therefore only serve as an outline for individual laboratory test
specifications.
The laboratory operating the unit shall bear full responsibility for the legibility of the imprint after
processing with reagents.
Test conditions
Imprinted cassettes were tested with a variety of reagents in an environment simulating the conditions
present during tissue processing.
List of tested cassette types:
• Leica ActivFlo Routine I
• Leica IP ActivFlo Biopsy I
• Leica IP ActivFlo Biopsy III
• Leica IP Routine VI
• Leica Jet Biopsy III
• Leica Jet Routine III*
• Sakura Tissue Tek III Uni-Cassette System
• Sakura Tissue-Tek Paraform Cassette Frames
*Recommended for printing barcodes.
