Labels for Cytopathology
Does your laboratory perform critical analysis of body tissue for early detection of diseases such as cancer? In many labs, special processes involve embedding specimens in wax, slicing specimens, applying them to slides and then exposing them to special stains and Xylene to aid examination under a microscope.

EIMINC® makes labels, printed or blank, specifically engineered to withstand alcohol, stains and Xylene. Our labels stick well to all types of slides and our bar code labels scan easily into any system. For users new to printing we also offer our QuickStart Barcode Label Printing Systems which includes everything you need to get started printing labels quickly and easily.

Our STOCK SLIDE LABELS are made for printing on site for slide processing and storage. They come as roll-form products on 1” core to fit Zebra desktop printers. These materials are specifically engineered to withstand various stains and rigorous solvents such as Xylene, alcohol acetone and DMSO.

Our CUSTOM LABELS can be made for either on-site printing or be totally printed and ready to apply. They are made to meet your label size needs and to fit full-size direct thermal and thermal transfer printers.  If you want us to print your labels for you, we can add color-coding, logos and barcodes to any product. 

Barcode Labels for Slides

More and more cytopathology labels are making use of automated screening devices that scan barcode labels. These devices have the ability to report test results as well as other data back to the HIS or LIS system. They also can easily locate a slide at any point in the accessioning process.

Deciding to utilize bar codes in your lab can be a daunting task. Which bar code to pick? Will all my equipment work well with just one bar code? How do I print the bar codes? What label size do I need? Will the labels hold up in the chemistry?

The vital aspects of specimen testing require that barcodes be reliable, have consistent quality, and conformity. They also must be very durable since they are exposed to some of the toughest lab conditions. 

These questions need answers. EIMINC® can help you with our lab experience and label expertise. We offer complete bar code solutions for slide labeling!

Once in place, each slide will be clearly marked with the data that you need. Typically the labels include a bar code and human readable text including patient name and Social Security Number. These labels are referenced and scanned at different points in the lab depending on how closely you need to track each case.

Assignment of cases to a cytotechnologist or a pathologist is automated by scanning the slides as well as an ID card or menu with the technologist's name. More and more labs are making use of automated screening devices that scan bar codes. These devices have the ability to report back to your system the results of a screening as well as other data. At any point, you can locate a slide in the lab, whether it is in the entry area, staining or being viewed by a cytotechnologist or pathologist.

Archiving samples has never been easier. Bar codes on the slides can be scanned as they enter the storage area. When the slides are removed from the area, they are scanned again. Scanning an ID card or menu with the technologist's name also helps locate the slides after they have left the archive area.

The data generated by the system also helps you to understand workflow and lab efficiency. By examining the times that specimens are scanned, you can find the processing bottlenecks and address them as needed.
