I'm very into "processes" and this system will reduce if not eliminate your errors. We were already a LEAN lab and with the addition of Vantage we reduced TAT by about 30% and virtually eliminated labeling errors. I'd suggest looking into Vantage before I'd venture into more costly interfaces that will just get you a label that can be read by an instrument. Vantage will give you so much more. Check it out.

With Ventana you HAVE to use THEIR labels. That's not the case with Leica. Succinctly, this means that you can use your LIS labels on a slide and the Lecia will read them and that's that. On the Ventana equipment, the slide MUST have the VENTANA slide label on the slide. Some powerpath users have gotten the powerpath barcode on the Ventana slide label and we're about to try and place our LIS slide label on the back of the slide. Purely, and I mean PURELY, from a labeling process, I would argue that the Leica is better suited for process flow.

We are using slide labels generated from PowerPath on our slides for the Bond Immunostainer.without any issues. We do have an interface in place.
