High Speed Tissue Cassette Ultraviolet (UV) Printer — ToronPath™ TC-UV
ToronPath™ TC-UV is a professional tissue cassette ultraviolet printer developed for anatomic pathology, histology, and clinical laboratory environments that require ultra-high-resolution cassette identification. Utilizing the latest UV laser printing marking technology, this tissue cassette UV printer produces extremely precise, chemically resistant markings — including complex QR codes and barcodes — directly on the surface of standard tissue processing cassettes without the use of ribbons, inks, or external consumables.
Engineered for reliability and throughput, the ToronPath™ TC-UV tissue cassette printer combines a fully integrated standalone computing platform, a 10.1-inch full-color LCD touchscreen, a sliding rail output system, and native LIS/HIS/PIS/PACS connectivity. The result is a cassette printer pathology solution that seamlessly integrates into modern pathology information workflows while delivering permanent, archive-quality specimen identification.
High Speed Tissue Cassette Ultraviolet (UV) Printer — ToronPath™ TC-UV Applications
The ToronPath™ TC-UV tissue cassette UV printer is designed for:
- High-volume anatomic and surgical pathology laboratories requiring rapid, consumable-free cassette labeling
- Histology and histopathology departments in hospitals and academic medical centers
- Pathology information system (PIS) integrated workflows with LIS/HIS/PACS connectivity requirements
- Biobanks and tissue archive facilities where long-term cassette identification integrity is critical
- Reference laboratories processing large cassette volumes with batch and on-demand print modes
- Research institutions requiring high-density QR code printing for specimen traceability and data capture
- Veterinary and specialty pathology laboratories requiring durable cassette identification
High Speed Tissue Cassette Ultraviolet (UV) Printer — ToronPath™ TC-UV Key Features
- Latest UV laser printing marking technology enables ultra-high-resolution output, meeting the stringent demands of pathological information systems
- Print resolution of 2,500 dpi supports reliable reproduction of high-density QR codes, 1D barcodes, alphanumeric text, symbols, and graphic elements on tissue cassettes
- Chemically resistant imprint — markings withstand immersion in xylene, alcohol, and decalcifying fluid for long-term archival preservation
- Two selectable output collection modes: Print-in-Big-Batches for uninterrupted high-volume runs and Print-after-Scanning for individual specimen workflow — switchable to match laboratory needs
- Integrated tissue cassette printing system with synchronous print preview function for real-time verification before printing
- Sliding rail output collection system automatically collects and organizes printed cassettes after each print cycle
- Output collection capacity of ≥ 28 cassettes per cycle; loading capacity of ≥ 6 cassette slots for continuous operation
- Built-in barcode scanner supports direct cassette scanning and verification at the point of labeling
- 10.1-inch full-color LCD touchscreen for intuitive operation, queue management, and workflow status monitoring
- Fully standalone integrated design with built-in computer and operating system — no external PC or workstation required
- Compatible with LIS, HIS, PIS, PACS, and other commonly used hospital and laboratory information systems
- Built-in composite air treatment function for safe laboratory environment during UV laser marking operations
- Non-contact laser technology with no consumable costs beyond the tissue cassettes themselves
- Print speed of ≤ 4 seconds per cassette supports clinical throughput requirements
Theory and Method
The ToronPath™ TC-UV employs the latest UV laser printing marking technology to permanently identify tissue processing cassettes. A precision UV laser beam is directed onto the cassette surface, where it photo-chemically reacts with the cassette material to create a high-contrast, deeply embedded mark. Because the process is purely optical and non-contact, no inks, ribbons, or toners are deposited onto or near the cassette, eliminating any risk of specimen contamination from printing consumables.
Operating at 2,500 dpi resolution, the system reproduces ultra-high-resolution patterns — including dense 2D QR codes, 1D barcodes, alphanumeric text, and laboratory symbols — with exceptional clarity on the compact surface area of a standard tissue cassette. The high-definition output supports pathological information system requirements for machine-readable identification at every step of specimen processing.
The integrated tissue cassette printing system features a synchronous preview function, allowing the operator to verify the print layout before committing to a batch run. The system supports two workflow modes: print-after-scanning for individual specimens and large-batch printing for high-throughput sessions. A sliding rail output mechanism ensures printed cassettes are gently and automatically collected in sequence, ready for immediate downstream processing. The built-in composite air treatment system captures laser-generated particulates at the source.
