Improved workflow and quality of work
Histology Lab
GI biopsy only, private practice, which tripled in volume in the last year. The PI Smart cassette and slide printer interfaced seamlessly with our LIS by the full support of the StatLab team. Quickly produces high quality printed cassettes and slides, very little downtime and product errors. In the event there is an issue the StatLab support team is readily available and able to easily walk you through troubleshooting. The printing on the cassettes is dark, bold, and extremely legible and durable. The style of print needed is completely customizable to our needs, again set up with full and friendly assistance from the StatLab team. I would recommend the PiSmart printers for ease of use, quality printing, and a dedicated support team!

In this product brochure, StatLab demonstrates how the proprietary design of PiSmart Cassettes - validated for use with the PiSmart Cassette Printer - ensure print integrity is retained through the entire workflow.
PiSmart Cassette Printer Brochure
In this product brochure, StatLab demonstrates how you can increase laboratory automation, maximize throughput, and reduce errors with the PiSmart cassette printer, empowering you to spend your time meeting patient needs.
Why choose on-demand printing over batch printing?
In pathology labs, even small labeling errors can have serious consequences for patient safety. A study conducted by Henry Ford Hospital revealed that traditional batch printing and hand labeling can result in significant mislabeling rates—21% for slides and 5.7% for cassettes. However, by transitioning to on-demand printing, these errors were dramatically reduced by 95% for slides and 3.5% for cassettes.
In this application note, Statlab explains how the StatLab PiSmart Cassette and Slide Printers are designed to minimize human error, improve efficiency, and enhance traceability in your lab.
By integrating on-demand printing into your workflow, you can:
- Reduce mislabeling errors and improve patient safety
- Streamline workflow efficiency with faster, automated processes
- Simplify staff training with an easy-to-use interface
- Enhance documentation by updating SOPs, work instructions, and checklists
- Improve tracking and connectivity with LIS integration and PathSmart software
