Last updated: 12th May, 2025
In the demanding world of histology, precision and safety are non-negotiable. There is a critical need for reliable and safe laser cassette printing, which is why Epredia’s Vega Laser cassette printers were developed – a cutting-edge solution designed to elevate your laboratory’s standards.
Epredia’s latest Vega Laser Cassette Printer: Where Safety Meets Innovation
The Vega Laser Cassette Printer is engineered with a focus on both performance and user safety, ensuring a seamless and secure workflow.
Prioritising Safety, Without Compromising Efficiency:
- Laser Technology System: A low-power YAG laser activates a chemical compound embedded in Epredia’s unique Laser Cassettes to create permanent and indelible marking, reducing the risk of formalin fume exposure from high-power laser plastic polymer burning.
- Laser Shielding & Interlock: The Vega is designed with sealed laser shielding and separate laser interlocks to minimise the risk of accidental laser exposure and safeguard laboratory staff.
- Minimal Noise Output: The Vega safely prints with a maximum sound power of only 65 dB, reducing impaired laboratory communication, focus, and productivity.
- Intuitive User Interface: The Vega’s user-friendly software interface, along with its laser function control, simplifies operation, reducing the potential for user error and enhancing safety compliance.
- Robust Construction: Built with durable materials, the Vega is designed for long-term reliability and safe operation, minimising maintenance and downtime.
- Compliance & Certification: The Epredia line of Laser Cassette & Slide printers meets rigorous industry safety standards such as IEC/EN 61010-1:2010 (electrical safety) and IEC 60825-1 (laser safety), ensuring your laboratory adheres to the highest safety protocols. The Vega has also passed OSHA standards for formaldehyde, cresol (charcoal smell), and respirable dust.
Beyond Safety: The Vega’s Unmatched Performance:
- High-Resolution Printing: Achieve crisp, clear, and durable 600 dpi printing on laser cassettes, ensuring accurate specimen identification and barcode readability.
- Increased Throughput: The Vega’s chute system allows rapid printing of up to 700+ cassettes per hour to boost laboratory efficiency, allowing you to process more samples in less time. Each hopper can be quickly loaded with up to 80 Laser Cassettes.
- Reduced Operational Expense – Eliminates the need for ink cartridges, ribbons, UV fixing lights, and even laser fume/dust filters.
- Seamless Integration: Designed for easy integration into existing laboratory workflows, the Vega minimises disruption and maximises productivity.
- Workflow Flexibility: Options for 1, 6, or 8 hopper systems and options for sorter, dual dispensing, or slide delivery systems to match user needs.
- Reliability: Backed by Abacus dx commitment to quality, customer support, and a decade of experience with servicing the Vega all around ANZ, it delivers exceptional performance and peace of mind.
