Laboratory Marking Pens Marking Pens for Microbiology, Histology, Cytology, Hematology,Molecular Biology and Cell Biology It is recommended that the customer always test a selected Marking Pen, knowing that the ink could bleed in certain situations or not adhere to a specific surface, depending upon surface, temperature, and how long the ink is allowed to dry. Marking Pens should not be used on smooth glassy/plastic surfaces. Marking Pens should be used on a designated writing surface such as a frosted end of a slide, print surface of a cassette or on a frosted label area on glassware. Marking Pens may also be used on a label with the proper adhesive for an application or surface. View our selection of labels for the proper label and adhesive backing. Laboratory Markers Sample Pack 22315 A sample pack of the three most commonly used and requested laboratory marking pens for histology and pathology laboratory use is now available. Each pen has different features for laboratory applications. This sample pack offers the opportunity to test one of each pen type first, to determine the best fit.
