Resistance against reagents
Warning
Note that each laboratory must perform its own tests to ensure that the ink has no trouble
withstanding the subsequent treatment of the slides with various reagents.
A wide range of factors beyond Leica's control can have negative effects on the results.
The test conditions stated below can therefore only serve as an outline for individual laboratory test
specifications.
The laboratory operating the unit shall bear full responsibility for the legibility of the imprint after
processing with reagents.
Test conditions
Imprinted slides were tested with a variety of reagents in an environment simulating the conditions
present during tissue processing.
The following slide types were tested:
Apex Clipped Corner Slide
Knittel GmbH Printer slides, adhesive slides
Leica Clipped Corner X-tra
®
Adhesive Slides
Leica Snowcoat
®
Clipped Corner Slide
A variety of colors of all of the above slide types (although not all colors available of each slide type)
were tested.
An influence of the slide color on the resistance of the imprint could not be verified.
Warning
It cannot be guaranteed that the ink will be absolutely smudge-proof under all foreseeable laboratory
conditions, as stability of the ink against wiping largely depends on the surface structure of the
imprint field of the slide being imprinted.
Important!
The imprint field of imprinted slides should never be touched or wiped while damp.
