[Histonet] compatibility of Thermo slide printers with Leica cassette printer

[Jesus Ellin]

We use both the Printmate and slidemate from Thermo.

We also have used the Leica IPS for slides.

The biggest thing to remember is when using these items is if you are passing them through your APLIS or the printers own proprietary software.  Either was you are going to have to look at this with a critical eye.  I would suggest using 2D barcodes for both items.  1D tend to increase as the data increases.  But this hold true for all barcodes you place on either a slide or cassette.  The main thing is the symobology you need in order to produce the barcode.  There are several symoblogies out there to use.  We currently use the Datamatrix one.  This is all driven by either the APLIS or the database you are using.

Hello Sandy,

we use a Leica Cassette and Slide Printer which are both connected to a database in which we organize all our specimens and print cassettes and slides, so it is not necessary to read the barcodes from cassettes to print them on the slides. However, there is of course not much space for barcode on the cassettes, but in most cases we can read the barcode with our smart phones.
I do not know if the barcodes of Leica and Thermo are compatible. I think you have to use the same type of barcode in both machines, so that the other one can read it.

Best regards
Michael
