Leica IP C – Inkjet Printer for Tissue Cassettes

The Leica IP C cassette printer has been designed for versatile printing of tissue cassettes, including cassettes with lids and two different imprint angles.

A resistant ink, specially designed for Leica Biosystems, makes imprints durable to chemical exposure and physical wear. Whether alphanumeric characters or 2D-Datamatrix barcodes, the print resolution is always satisfactory with good legibility. A specific advantage of barcode imprints is the possibility to track the sample throughout the complete histology workflow. Additionally, it enables reliable archiving with quick and accurate case identification. An optional external cassette magazine holder is available for easy and convenient loading of pre-taped cassettes.

  • Barcode printed cassette used for tracking supports reduction of human error through automation and traceability.
  • The Leica IP C cassette printer uses a resistant ink that prevails against the chemicals used in your histology laboratory. The imprint on each cassette remains readily identifiable throughout the histology process and storage period.
  • The optional unload station automates the manual process and helps to avoid sequence mix up of printed cassettes.
  • Batch job printing: 15 cassettes/minute; single-cassette printing: 10 sec per cassette; for high throughput and optimized workflow.
  • Designed to be used as a centralized single-user, or multiple-user PC workstation, where several printers can be connected to one PC.
