STATMARK™ Permanent Marker for Cassette and Slide Marking

General Use: Histology
Writing Surface: Frosted end microscope slides, plastic cassettes

The STATMARK™ Pen is the ideal black marker - the one that histology and cytology labs have been waiting for. It has a permanent ink that, when allowed to dry, resists even the harshest chemicals, including formalin, ethanol, isopropanol and xylene. The writing remains clean, clear and legible throughout the range of laboratory procedures - including processing and staining. The ink dries quickly and will not run or smear. It lasts through fixatives, baths, dips, stains, bleaches, and more. Best of all, the STATMARK™ Pen will not readily dry out!
