New tissue cassette printer by DTM Medical

DTM TCP450 Tissue Cassette Printer prints directly onto tissue cassettes for increased efficiency in labs.

WIESBADEN, GERMANY (1 February 2024) – DTM Medical, an international OEM and medical solution provider, recently introduced its DTM TCP450 Tissue Cassette Printer. The TCP450 is designed for use in cytology, pathology and histology labs to print text, symbols, matrix codes and other characters directly onto tissue and biopsy cassettes. That eliminates handwriting or expensive and difficult-to-apply labels and makes the lab workflow more efficient while increasing patient safety. As the cassette printer is a UV laser printer it does not require special laser cassettes. That leads to significant cost reduction as just standard ones (without lit) need to be stored. Furthermore, the print is resistant to xylene, alcohol and decalcifying solutions.

The print resolution of the cassette printer is 2500 dpi, resulting in high-quality and sharp print output. It takes about four seconds for a cassette to be produced.

The TCP450 can storage multiple cassettes as it comes with six cassette hoppers, each holding up to 75 cassettes. Alternatively, it can hold up to 50 cassettes each with refillable hoppers. There are two output hoppers available, either with a capacity of 20 or 100 cassettes. A direct output of the printed cassettes is also possible.

An integrated PC with touch screen and a built-in scanner are two features of this new cassette printer that can be operated as stand-alone solution or with a lab information system (LIS).

DTM Medical will showcase all its medical printing solutions including the DTM TCP450 Tissue Cassette Printer at Medlab 2024 at stand Z6.C38 in Za'abeel Hall 6.
