Inkjet label applicator printer Leica IP S

for microscope slideslaboratoryautomatic

Overview
The Leica IP S imprints microscope slides rapidly and durably using a dedicated, chemically resistant ink developed for Leica Biosystems. It supports alphanumeric characters and 2D‑DataMatrix barcodes, enabling specimen tracking, automation and reliable archiving with clear legibility.

Key features

• High‑throughput slide printing with batch and single‑slide modes
• Batch job printing: 4 seconds per slide (two‑line printing)
• Single‑slide printing: 10 seconds per slide
• Chemical‑resistant Leica ink formulated for histology workflows and physical durability
• Prints alphanumeric characters and 2D‑DataMatrix barcodes with high legibility
• Barcode printing enables automation, traceability and reduction of human error
• Optional automated unload station (external magazine) to automate slide sorting and avoid sequence mix‑ups
• Designed for centralized or multi‑user PC workstation operation; multiple printers can be connected to one PC
• Windows‑compliant printer driver for LIS integration

Printing performance
Batch printing achieves approximately 4 seconds per slide (two‑line). Single‑slide printing requires about 10 seconds per slide. In batch mode this corresponds to up to ~15 slides per minute, offering high throughput for optimized laboratory workflows.

Options and integration

• Optional external magazine and automated unload station (capacity up to 110 slides) for automated handling and reduced manual sorting
• Modular design for integration into existing laboratory workflows and optimization of technician time
• Windows‑compatible driver for integration with LIS; several printers can be managed from a single PC workstation
• Software package options available (e.g., Desktop dongle, Automation Easy, HistoPal) depending on configuration
