We use Secureline Marker II/superfrost Histoprep pens from Fisher. Their item # is 14-905-30 for black, 14-905-35 for red. We have never had a problem with them smearing or fading on the cassettes no matter what we subject them to.

Hi Histoland,

We have a satellite lab that manually prepares their cassettes.  We have had significant problems with the markers coming off after tissue processing.  We have tried StatLab markers, Leica Markers and the red AquaRellable pencils and continue to have issues.  Other than purchasing a cassette labeling system (their volumes are pretty low and there is limited bench space in the lab for a cassette labeler) does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what might be causing this phenomenon or a really good permanent lab marker that has been successful for you?
