SV: [Histonet] Re: Looking for recommendations for a slide and cassettelabeller

[Erikstad, Gudrun Hovstein]

We have had a Leica IPC for cassette printing for seven years, and just purchased two more. They are very reliable and the fastest one we've found so far (for batch printing).
Works well with LIS (for patient samples) or from excel (for control blocks etc)
The downside is that they occupy a lot of space on the bench. A bit noisy too, but I don't know anyone that work more silent.

If anyone knows about a cassette printer that is smaller AND can print as fast as the Leica IPC, I would like to know.

We haven't tried the Leica IPC for slide printing. Can you use the same printer for both slides and cassettes? (We use labels for slides, but it would be convenient to use the Leica IPC for printing controls slides, as we use the control and the patient section on the same slide. We could then put the patient label over the print)

Hi Sheila.


As a recent user of the Leica systems for cassette and slide labelling (IP C and S), I recommend them both. The single user console can control both units and although a PC is required you won't be dissatisfied. Stream lining and efficiency seem to suit the units well. Multiple lines of metadata can be written across the blocks as well as the slides. You should look into the units to see if they'd be a fit for your laboratory.
