New Slide Printer Aims To Improve Cancer Diagnostics

Epredia, announced that it has launched sales of the SlideMate™ Thermal Slide Printer (TSP). SlideMate TSP is the newest addition to the company’s SlideMate portfolio of slide printers, which are used in pathology laboratories to identify and help track tissue samples. 

Building on the technology of its award-winning SlideMate Laser printer, Epredia has engineered the SlideMate TSP to help clinical laboratories of any size to protect tissue samples, strengthen sample traceability, and streamline workflow efficiency during cancer diagnosis. The SlideMate TSP creates crisp, permanent thermal transfer printing on microscope slides with modernized features designed to maximize product performance and reduce laboratory workflow interruptions. These features include enclosed slide hoppers to protect samples from potential dust contamination and mechanical slide movement that offers smoother handling than gravity-fed solutions. The SlideMate TSP allows pathology labs to keep pace with high-volume demands while maintaining consistent print quality. 

In addition to its modernized features, the SlideMate TSP’s compact size allows for seamless integration into any histology, cytology, or other pathology workflow. When used in conjunction with Epredia LabWriter software, it can easily interface with a Laboratory Information System. 

The SlideMate TSP is the latest addition to Epredia’s world-class portfolio of precision cancer diagnostics products and services that provide a seamless end-to-end laboratory workflow. Epredia also offers optimized slides designed for use with the SlideMate TSP, including non-adhesion slides with Superfrost technology and adhesion slides with Superfrost PLUS technology to maximize tissue adherence. Slides are available in multiple colors, which laboratories can use to coordinate downstream activities. 

SlideMate TSP is manufactured in Italy, and is the newest technology to come out of PHC Group’s San Benedetto del Tronto facility.
