February 2014—Primera Technology’s robotic-based, auto-loading version of the Signature Cassette Printer, model SCP-R, is now available. Signature Cassette Printer is designed for use in pathology and histology labs to print high-resolution text, graphics, and barcodes on tissue cassettes. It uses thermal transfer ink ribbons instead of solvent ink-jet or laser ablation.

Two versions of the cassette printer are available. Smaller labs can start with the manual-feed SCP-M, which can fit next to a grossing station, and then add the robotics module when processing volumes increase. The SCP-M printer can be placed on top of the robotics module and connected via a USB cable. Print speed is about six seconds per cassette.

The SCP-R is a fully robotic system that has four separate hoppers, each with 40 cassettes. A robotic arm picks each cassette from the top of the desired stack and places it into the printer. After printing, cassettes are deposited on an output rack on the front of the printer. Up to seven cassettes can be placed on the rack at a time. With the included extension tray, output capacity is increased to 17 cassettes.
