Slide Label Materials
Tough conditions call for tough slide labels
Slide labels need to hold up to a wide variety of harsh solvents and chemicals like alcohol, xylene and DMSO. Bar codes on slides need to remain clear and readable in order to be properly scanned. As you might already know, some labels perform better in cytology and pathology labs than others. Below we have listed some of our Slide Label Materials with some information about their characteristics and features. These labels play a key role in the printing of barcodes for slide labels. Now Available: Colored labels which enable labs to create a color coding system. Call 800-535-6987 for more info.
| Material | Product Description |
| XyResist® White Plastic | For thermal transfer printing, XyResist® white labels offer excellent print quality. The label will not stick to gloves, and yet it will handle cold temperatures. It is suitable for slide identification because it resists the effects of xylene. Care has to be taken not to touch the ribbon ink while it is wet with Xylene. We recommend the use of the T66/T67 ribbon. |
| XyResist® White Polyester | For thermal transfer printing, these labels offer excellent print quality, as well as resistance to Xylene, stain and Xylene substitutes. This stock is a matte white in color and is waterproof, with a solvent and temperature resistant adhesive. We recommend our T84/T85 resin ribbon for ultimate print quality and durability. |
| Direct Thermal White XyResist® Plastic | For direct thermal printers, this durable white label does not require a printing ribbon, making it ideal for facilities that need to comply with the HIPPA privacy regulations. (Suitable for incidental contact with chemicals, but not prolonged immersion) |
| XyRepel® White Laminated Polyester | We print custom XyRepel® labels for you with a special chemical-resistant white polyester material and a similarly chemical-resistant clear protective film. This combination provides superior resistance to xylene and other chemicals so it is used for Cytopathology, Histology, and other slide applications. Contact Us for a Quote. |
From these basic label materials, EIM has engineered two NEW and Special Slide Label Products. They are designed to provide that extra protection found so valuable in our XyRepel® product but allow you to print them right in your laboratory. Contact Us For More Information and Free Samples.
