XyliTRANS

XyliTRANS™ – Transparent Xylene & Chemical-Resistant Labels for Microscope Slides

Transparent XyliTRANS™ labels are designed to identify microscope slides subjected to common histological preparation procedures. Their permanent chemical-resistant adhesive will withstand immersion in various histology chemicals, including xylene and xylene substitutes, as well as MEK, DMSO, toluene, alcohols, and other organic solvents found in histology laboratories*. Moreover, these labels will stay stain-free and clear following staining procedures involving hematoxylin and eosin, and can withstand high temperature treatments associated with histology slide preparation.

XyliTRANS labels are compatible with most common thermal-transfer barcode printers, with the optimal chemical resistance obtained when used with our XAR-class of solvent-resistant ink ribbons. Printed text and barcodes will resist continuous wiping and rubbing with alcohols, solvents, and sanitizing wipes, including when applied on flat cardboard and polycarbonate boxes.

Benefits:

• Resistant to most chemicals, solvents, xylene, and H&E stains
• Ideal for labeling microscope slides and certain flat surfaces
• Compatible with manual and automated slide processing systems
• Printable with most commercially available thermal-transfer printers

*Thorough testing in end-user application conditions is highly recommended.
