We have used the General Data cassette printers for 6 plus years now, both 1 and 2 D barcodes. We have both the 12 hopper (magazine) and single hoper printers. The single hoppers are faster but require manual change of hoppers if you are using different colored cassettes.
The quality of the print is excellent, reliable on scanning and can withstand a lot of punishment, believe me we tried.
You must have the under counter space for the Hepa filter.

Hi Histonetters-
Is there a special blade or angle or directions required for cutting plastic blocks?
As always - Thanks for your help

Hello Nancy!
What type of plastic blocks are you wanting to cut? May I also ask what type of specimens are contained within the blocks. Without much information on what specifically you are working with you are looking at needing diamond knives, tungsten-carbide knives, or diamond impregnated wire, band saw blades, or disc wheels.
Best,
Jack

Hi all,
We are looking at cassette printers and have narrowed to three.
The printers will be used for 2D code printing so I am wondering what experience anyone has had with reliability of 2D code readability and durability with the output of these three printers
Thermo Printmate
General Data
Leica IP-C
Thanks for any info you can give!

The General Data is nice, but takes up space with its vacuum canister,
which they rarely show in pictures. Be sure you see it and make certain
it will fit in the space you have. Cassettes are more costly as they
are all pre-printed with black facing, but look great.
Thermo is less bulky (no vacuum and waste container to clean) but
produces a lower quality print. Cassettes are much cheaper, but they
have had some troubles with the print head not lasting long.
The Leica is not much better (if at all) than the Thermo with respect
to print quality. It also constantly jams (the ones I have used).
Personally, I would choose the General Data. Costs more in the long
term with pricey cassettes, but looks great! Less troubles with barcode
scanning too. There is no comparison between this and the other two.
Like a Kia vs a Bentley.
I just bought the Thermo, and only because my lab is a Thermo Showcase
lab and that is all we use, across the board. I wish I could have the
General Data unit.

Hello to all in histoland. Does any one have to do productivity reports for their boss. If so, what are you using for your unit of measure to say if your techs are being productive. My boss is really into the numbers, graphs and charts. I have a my techs fill out a workload recording form. I really don't know where to begin trying to pull data from it for a report. If anyone has any insight to this and has a report that they would be willing to share, I would be eternally grateful.

Productivity figures are fundamental to justify the staff you have or the one you will need if a work growth is expected or planned by your director.
There are many ways of figuring out productivity and not all tasks can be measured in the same way.
For instance:
1- FS productivity ought to be measured in the time (minutes) elapsing between the moment the specimen reached the FS area and the moment the histotech (HT)?delivers to the pathologist (PT) the slides ready to read. By the way, this is the only task that CAP has developed a productivity standard and it is 20 minutes and the PT has to justify if any FS takes more than the required?20 minutes. As to the HT, the average productivity if 15 minutes.
2- For the lab supervisor, two productivity indices are casted blocks per hour, while embedding or blocks per hour while sectioning, and the list can be expanded to other tasks where the work unit is the block.
3- all in all, the Canadian model of measuring productivity, that I have included in my calculations, refers to the number of blocks (or cases in other occasions) divided by the?total time it elapses between the moment the case is received at the lab. until the diagnosis is sent to the physician. That would be the Total Gross Work flow productivity.
?
There are many ways but what is absolutely certain is that if you want to have a grasp of your lab and staff and control their activities, as well as analyze the whole operation to improve the work flow, you need to determine productivity.
There are always those that, with reason, argue that excessive productivity can "damage" quality. The argument seems to be correct in general but in no way it can deter trying to be as productive as possible and maintain quality. There should be no compromises either way. An "ideal" quality cannot affect productivity, and viceversa.
Under separate cover I am sending 2 works I published on this issue. You should show them to your boss and let him/her select which productivity indices s/he prefers.

One issue to consider is that you need to find a way to compare apples to apples. Generally that means doing workload by comparing identical shifts with identical work practice, or doing your workload recording in small increments so you are only measuring one task at a time. For instance, while several people may be scheduled to "section" they may also be assigned additional work like changing processors, backing up special stains, doing the daily rush biopsies, doing some data entry. Along with all that the "sectioning" should be the same kinds of cases - bx vs bx, etc. All those can skew the "sectioning" totals in various ways. You need to "normalize" the counts so they are all measuring the same work in the same way.

I have been battling this for years they gives us RVU's for each task. What a headache. The problem I run into is they only see per specimen. If I have a specimen that has 30 cassettes it does not matter it is treated the same as one cassette per specimen. Not to mention the doctors will hold cases for the next day or two and then one day I get slammed with a 120 cassettes and only have maybe 30-40 specimens from the regular surgical from the day before. You have to make them realize that this it is just not as cut and dry as it looks. I do not like when they just look at the numbers and graphs and not the real workload. I am the Chief Cook and bottle washer here and they still get on me about productivity.
I agree with Tim on the labs doing things differently and different specimens so it is hard to compare.
I feel your pain.

Hello everyone,
I recently received rat brain samples that were frozen in liquid nitrogen and embedded in OCT. I sectioned them on the cryostat and they are coming out very wrinkled, no matter what technique I use to pick them up. I would appreciate any tips/tricks that anyone has to offer. Forebrain sections are ok, but mid, hind-brain, and cerebellum are giving me a very hard time. Thanks and I look forward to your advice.
Andrea
