HistoLAM™ – Self-Laminating Thermal-Transfer Labels for Microscope Slides

• Secure sample identification throughout the entire slide processing and staining protocol
• Excellent stain repelling properties and thorough distribution of reagents during automated processing
• Convenient and quick integration into existing label printing systems for maximized productivity and efficiency

Xylene-resistant, thermal-transfer labels specially designed for slide identification in fully automated, multi-slide, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and special stainers and processors.
Resistant to routinely used slide/tissue processing and immunohistochemical staining harsh chemicals such as Xylene, ethanol, formalin, acetic acid, as well as eosin, hematoxylin, and special (counter) stains. Specially designed with an over-laminating flap, these labels can also withstand long-term exposure and immersion in safer clearing and deparaffinizing Xylene substitutes such as EZ Prep, Clearify, Histo-Clear, Formula 83, Pro-Par, and others. Resistant to high-temperature, acidic/basic buffers used during the antigen retrieval process in immunohistochemistry protocols.

Capable of integrating with laboratory information systems (LIS) and management systems (LIMS), as well as slide processors’ specific label printers. They are ideal for safe, accurate, and permanent identification of microscope slides with patient/sample information as well as crisp 1-dimensional (1D) and 2-dimensional (2D) barcodes. Once laminated, the printout is smudge-proof and also resistant to long-term immersion in harsh chemicals, solvents, and stains.
