Specimen labelling solution for histology and anatomic pathology laboratories

Video - Online Demo

Brady has developed a unique set of products for the histology and anatomic pathology market in order to guarantee pre-process identification for tissue samples allowing traceability throughout laboratory processes as well as long term storage (<20 years).

Consisting of 2 new product developments:
1. BSP™31 Label Attachment System

2. B-482 Tissue Cassette label

1. The BSP™31 Label Attachment System
Is designed to mechanically fasten an adhesive label to a tissue cassette before the tissue-embedding process. This easy-to-use unit creates rivets on the label which prevent the label from detaching during the embedding process or during long-term storage.
When a cassette is inserted into the front of the unit, a clamp automatically grabs the cassette. In less than a minute, four small heat probes pierce through the label and front plastic of the cassette. Heat applied to the probes melts the cassette plastic and forms rivets on the label. When the unit retracts the probes from the cassette, the cassette is released and the user can remove it and place the biospecimen into the cassette. The BSP31 unit must be used exclusively with Brady B-482 label material and Brady R-6400 thermal transfer printer ribbon.

2. B-482 Tissue Cassette Label
B-482, when printed with the R-6400 thermal transfer ribbon, is designed for Tissue Cassette identification through processing when used in conjunction with the Brady BSP31. It has superior resistance to processing fluids and complements the performance of the B-481 StainerBondz™ slide labels when used as part of a complete histology labelling system.

Key features and benefits

Customer need:

• Pre-process identification for tissue samples allowing traceability throughout the laboratory processes and storage.

Value proposition:

• Greater efficiency and addressing a market with no solution for labelling small volumes of tissue cassettes.
  Reduce the chance of identification errors and as a consequence liabilities; back up system for high volume laboratories.

Benefits:

• Affordable for small to medium size laboratories and high volume laboratories who could use it as a backup solution.
• Maximize label information with bar-coding and small text.
• Withstands the tissue process protocols in order to meet industry standard group specifications (eg. CLIA, CAP).
• Riveting of label to cassette meets process and storage requirements.
