[Histonet] RE: Ventana Labels

[Morken, Timothy]

We use the Sakura Glas (original) with the Ventana Ultra slide labels. It uses a suction cup to grab the slide and works fine. But the Sakura Glas 2 grabs the slide with pincers on the side, like the Leica coverslipper  (we use the Leica CV5030)and the Ventana slide labels sometimes get stuck to the pincer. The problem is that the Ultra label is 23mm wide and if the label is right on the edge or hangs over the edge it sticks to the coverslipper pincer. So, you have to place the label very carefully to avoid that problem. Be sure also that the solvent level in the coverslipper is below the label so glue does not seep out (note that I'm not sure if the Ventana Vantage tracking system labels are the same as the Ultra labels). 

For our tracking system (Copath AB&T) and Leica Bond stainer we are using the 22mm General Data Stainer Shield label and there are no problems at all with either coverslipper.

Sharon,
What type of coverslipper are you using?  We are having problems with our Leica coverslipper with the Vantage labels.

We order our Vantage printer labels form Eastern Laboratory Services Division and save about $50.00/ roll of labels and ribbon (you get 4 rolls and 4 ribbons per case).  You need to be specific with the label measurements and the type of ribbon, otherwise they send standard options.  If anyone has anything better, please pass it on!

Histonetters,

Like everywhere else, my lab is trying to find ways to save money. One thing we are looking at are the labels/ribbon we use for our Ventana EBAR printers and our Ventana Vantage Zebra printers. Currently, we order labels/printer ribbons for both types of printers directly from Ventana. As one can imagine, we are paying a premium price. Has any out there had any luck finding labels/ribbon cheaper from other sources?

Thank you everyone!
