Inkjet label applicator printer Leica IP C

for cassetteslaboratoryfor histopathology

Overview
The Leica IP C cassette printer is designed for versatile, high-throughput printing of tissue cassettes, including cassettes with lids and two imprint angles. A chemical-resistant ink developed for Leica ensures durable, legible alphanumeric and 2D‑Datamatrix prints throughout histology processing and storage. Optional accessories simplify loading and automate unload processes to reduce handling errors.

Key Features

• Printable alphanumeric characters and 2D‑Datamatrix barcodes for sample traceability and reliable archiving.
• Ink-jet technology with chemical-resistant ink formulated for histology environments.
• Supports capped cassettes and two imprint angles to accommodate different cassette formats.
• Batch printing capability up to 15 cassettes per minute; single-cassette print time ~10 seconds.
• Optional external cassette magazine holder for convenient loading of taped stacks.
• Optional automated unload station to reduce sequence mix-ups and manual handling.
• Designed for centralized single-user or multi-user PC workstation setups; multiple printers can be connected to one PC (LIS integration via Windows-compliant driver).
