<p>A device (1) for holding a laboratory sample cassette (2) having a marking surface (3) disposed at an inclined angle to a main body of the cassette (2), has a platen (10) with an aperture through which marking of the marking surface (3) can occur. The device (1) also has a receiving surface (13) for receiving one said cassette (2) which surface (13) is inclined relative to the platen (10), a stop (15) and a clamp (18). A received cassette (2) is slid down the inclined receiving surface (13) until the cassette (2) engages the stop (15) and so that the marking surface (3) substantially faces the platen (10) and a recess behind the marking surface (3) is aligned with the clamp (18). A plunger (19) of the clamp (18) is lowered towards the platen (10) and into the recess so that the marking surface (3) is pinned against the platen (10). The marking surface (3) can then be marked by marking means via the platen aperture. The plunger (19) is then moved away from the platen (10) and the cassette (2) is removed.</p> |
