VEGA MB-97 Laser Cassette Printer - Brand New

The VEGA MB-97 from Epredia is a laser cassette printer designed for anatomical pathology and histology laboratories. Thanks to its high-precision YAG laser (600 dpi), it prints up to 12 cassettes per minute with 1D/2D barcodes and clear, durable text. Equipped with six rotating hubs (total capacity of 480 cassettes) and an optional sorting system, it optimises workflows while reducing identification errors. Robust, compact and easy to maintain, the VEGA MB-97 fits perfectly into any laboratory requiring reliability and traceability.



Description

VEGA MB-97 – Excellence in laser cassette printing for histology

The VEGA MB-97 is a high-performance laser cassette printer developed by Epredia. It is designed for anatomical pathology, medical biology and histology laboratories seeking to optimise sample traceability, reduce human error and automate their workflows.

Designed for demanding environments, the VEGA MB-97 offers direct printing on cassettes with a resolution of 600 dpi, ensuring clear and durable reading of printed data: linear barcodes (Code 128, Code 29), 2D (DataMatrix, QR Code, PDF417) and alphanumeric text. This print quality ensures perfect legibility, even after exposure to humid conditions or standard chemical processing.

Thanks to a sealed and secure class 4 (2.2 W) YAG laser, the system prints at speeds of up to 12 cassettes per minute, making it ideal for high-volume laboratories. Each cassette is marked without contact, which prevents mechanical wear and ensures the system's long service life.

At the heart of the device is a 6-rotary hub architecture, each capable of holding up to 80 cassettes, giving a total capacity of 480 cassettes in simultaneous load. A pre-filled secondary carousel can also be added for quick batch, style or colour changes. Loading is facilitated by a Load HUB button that rotates the carrier for ergonomic access to each hub.

The VEGA MB-97 also features a comprehensive software system that is compatible with LIS (Laboratory Information Systems). It allows the creation of user profiles, data export, print prioritisation (Priority function) and print parameter management. The intuitive interface makes it easy for laboratory staff to learn and integrate quickly.

Printed cassettes can be distributed in three ways:

  1. Standard front drop directly onto the work surface,
  2. Motorised cassette sorter (25 cassettes), which automatically sorts the marked cassettes,
  3. DUO system with two trays of 10 cassettes each, ideal for shared use between two workstations.

In terms of maintenance, the VEGA MB-97 requires no daily maintenance. Six-monthly cleaning of the laser lens and dusting of the distribution duct are sufficient to ensure optimal operation. Its IP55 protection rating, compliance with IEC, EN and FCC standards and mechanical robustness make it a reliable solution for continuous use in a professional environment.

By choosing the VEGA MB-97, laboratories benefit from a complete, fast and secure solution for printing histology cassettes. Its integration into the Epedia portfolio reinforces its legitimacy and ensures international technical support.
