Abstract
A label for tissue embedding cassette may have a facestock configured to have data on a first surface thereof. An adhesive layer is on a second surface of the facestock. Slits are defined in the facestock from an edge thereof, the slits defining at least one tab, the at least one tab configured to be located opposite a female connector in a box of the tissue embedding cassette when the label is adhered to a slanted surface of the tissue embedding cassette. The at least one tab forms a flap movable into the female connector by pressure of a male connector of a lid of the tissue embedding cassette when the male connector penetrates the female connector.
Claims6
A label for tissue embedding cassette comprising:
- a facestock configured to have data on a first surface thereof, and
- an adhesive layer on a second surface of the facestock,
- wherein slits are defined in the facestock from an edge thereof, the slits defining at least one tab, the at least one tab configured to be located opposite a female connector in a box of the tissue embedding cassette when the label is adhered to a slanted surface of the tissue embedding cassette;
- wherein the at least one tab forms a flap movable into the female connector by pressure of a male connector of a lid of the tissue embedding cassette when the male connector penetrates the female connector.
A label for tissue embedding cassette comprising:
- a facestock configured to have data on a first surface thereof, and
- an adhesive layer on a second surface of the facestock,
- wherein a notch is defined in the facestock from an edge thereof, the notch configured to be located opposite a female connector in a box of the tissue embedding cassette when the label is adhered to a slanted surface of the tissue embedding cassette;
- wherein the notch forms a clearance when the male connector penetrates the female connector.
A method for applying a label onto a tissue embedding cassette, comprising:
- adhering a label on a slanted surface of a tissue embedding cassette, such that at least one tab of the label covers a female connector of a box of the tissue embedding cassette;
- and
- flapping the at least one tab of the label into the female connector by engaging a male connector of a lid of the tissue embedding cassette into the female connector.
