[Histonet] RE: Recommendations for a slide and cassette labeler system

[D'Attilio, Shelley]

Hi all,
Sheila asked for recommendations for a slide and cassette labeler system.  We use the Leica IPS and IPC printers and we are very happy with their reliability and performance.  I believe they are larger than other printers but well worth the real estate, in my opinion.  Our printers are interfaced to our A/P LIS (WinSurge), but we also have the ability to print slides and cassettes as needed through the printing software.  Be advised that our installation required that each printer be connected to its own PC and I needed to purchase two interfaces from WinSurge, so it wasn't an inexpensive project by any means.

I think the Leica labelers are suitable for a high-volume laboratory, but may be overkill for a lab with smaller volumes.

Regards,
