UV Batch-Collection Cassette Printer
6 Hoppers In · 120 Cassette Tray Out
480 Cassette Input · 120 Cassette Batch Tray Output · TXT <3s · PDF <5s · Cassette Color Assignment · LIMS/HIMS · 4 Operation Modes
The UVP102001 is the cassette printer built around batch collection — a large-volume removable output tray that holds 120 printed cassettes (8×15 rows). Print a whole morning's worth of cassettes in a single unattended batch, then carry the tray to the grossing bench intact. 480-cassette input capacity across 6 removable hoppers, UV laser etching that prints TXT in <3 seconds and PDFs in <5 seconds, and a cassette color assignment system that lets you pre-color-code each hopper before printing.
Why Batch Collection Changes the Workflow
In a standard cassette printer, each printed cassette drops into an on-demand chute — you grab it one at a time as each job completes. That's fine for small orders, but at clinical volume it means someone has to stand at the printer and collect cassettes continuously, or the chute backs up and the printer stops. The bottleneck isn't print speed — it's collection.
The UVP102001 solves this with a large-volume collection tray (120-cassette capacity in an 8×15-row grid). Queue up your batch, walk away, come back when it's done — the printed cassettes are organized in an orderly grid, ready to carry to the grossing bench. The tray is removable, so you can swap in an empty one mid-shift and keep the printer running. Four operation modes — standalone, batch printing software, connected to slide printer, or LIMS/HIMS controlled — let the unit plug into whatever workflow your lab runs.
The three alternatives to UV laser printing all have problems that show up in a real histology lab. Ink printers smudge when slides or cassettes hit solvent, alcohol, or xylene during processing — and a smudged label in a stained slide archive is an indistinguishable specimen. Thermal transfer printers need ribbons that run out at the worst time, jam in the middle of a batch, and leave residue that can flake off during processing. Hand-written labels are legibility gambles across a shift of 400+ samples, and turn traceability audits into guessing games.
UV laser printing etches the information directly into the surface. Solvent-resistant, smudge-resistant, abrasion-resistant, permanent — the label still reads crisp after xylene, alcohol, paraffin, and years in a slide archive. Zero consumables: no ink cartridges, no ribbons, no supply chain, no unexpected "printer's out of ribbon" at 4 PM. And the UV laser lifetime runs into the millions of prints — service-free, continuous-duty.
120-Cassette Batch Tray
Large-volume removable collection tray holds 120 printed cassettes (8×15 rows). Queue a morning's batch, walk away, return to an organized grid ready for grossing.
Cassette Color Assignment
Assign cassette color per hopper before printing — so the batch tray comes out color-sorted by tissue type, priority, or project. Visual sorting without manual handling.
480 Cassette Input
6 removable hoppers × 80 cassettes = 480 cassette input capacity. Pre-load a shift's worth of cassettes; the printer feeds from any hopper on command.
4 Operation Modes
Standalone · Batch Printing Software · Connected to Slide Printer · LIMS/HIMS-Controlled — one printer works across every workflow model a pathology lab might run.
"Queue the morning's batch. Walk away. Return to 120 cassettes in an ordered grid." — The UVP102001 is what turns cassette printing from an active babysit-the-printer task into a walk-away batch job.

Ideal Applications
Walk-Away Pathology Batches
Clinical pathology labs where cassette printing is a scheduled batch task — queue the morning's 120 cassettes, walk away, return to an organized grid ready for the grossing station.
Multi-Project Labs
Labs running multiple projects or tissue types simultaneously — cassette color assignment per hopper sorts the output tray visually by project/priority without manual handling.
Integrated Histology Stations
Pairs with UV slide printers and LIMS/HIMS systems for end-to-end specimen traceability — one information system drives cassette + slide labeling in linked workflow.
