FAQ
What slide types are compatible with the RD-T2?
The RD-T2 thermal transfer ribbon slide printer is compatible with standard microscope slides including frosted-end slides commonly used in pathology, histology, and cytology laboratories. It supports direct printing of patient data, barcodes, and laboratory identifiers on the frosted area of the slide.
How durable is the thermal transfer printing?
Thermal transfer ribbon technology produces permanent, chemical-resistant markings that withstand xylene, ethanol, and standard histology staining reagents. The printed information remains legible throughout the entire processing, staining, and archiving workflow — ensuring reliable slide traceability.
What is the printing capacity of the RD-T2?
The RD-T2 features a loading hopper and collection bin designed for continuous batch operation in medium-throughput histology laboratories. It supports automated slide loading and collection, reducing operator handling time. For higher throughput requirements, the RD-T10 model offers expanded capacity.
Can the RD-T2 connect to laboratory information systems?
Yes. The RD-T2 supports LIS/HIS integration for automated data transfer from laboratory information systems to the slide printer. This eliminates manual data entry errors and ensures consistent patient identification across all slides in a batch.
