Abstract
A device for holding a laboratory sample cassette having a marking surface disposed at inclined angle to a main body of the cassette, has a platen with an aperture through which marking of the marking surface can occur. The device also has a receiving surface for receiving one of said cassette which surface is inclined relative to the platen, a step, and a clamp. A receiving cassette is slid down the inclined receiving surface until the cassette engages the stop and so that the marking surface substantially faces the platen and a recess behind the marking surface is aligned with the clamp. A plunger of the clamp is lowered toward the platen and into the recess so that the marking surface is pinned against the platen. The marking surface can then be marked by marking means via the platen aperture. The plunger is then moved away from the platen and the cassette is removed.
