Re: [Histonet] Slide Printer

2022-08-05 Thread Cooper, Brian via Histonet 
Similar story here, except we went with SlideMates.  Before AB LIS 
integration, we were able to have CoPath print a barcode on our cassettes 
(Leica IPC cassette printer). The SlideMate Field Service Reps were able to 
translate that barcode info on the slide printers (which were still standalone 
at that point).  That barcode on the cassettes translated to a patient name and 
accession number on each slide.

HEllo Histonetters,

We are a research lab that has been using the Leica IPC/IPS printed for many 
years. Today the flash motor went out in the IPS. We are now looking into 
updating the slide printer.

We are research only and NOT hooked into any LIS system. It would be a stand 
alone process. Can some of you share what you have and the pros/cons?
I need to start the search for the replacement I would like.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [Histonet] slide printer

2020-08-25 Thread Morken, Timothy via Histonet 
When we implemented barcoding I was planning on using direct slide printing. It 
seemed the most efficient and safest way (ie, no mislabelling) to do the 
labeling. 

However, when we looked into getting the printers they were on the order of 
$9,000 per printer. And we wanted 20 printers for histology, cytology, grossing 
(frozens) and the kidney/muscle lab (kidney and muscle frozens) . That was a 
huge part of our equipment budget. In fact it was more than the computers, 
handheld scanners combined. 

So we started looking at slide label printers instead. They are far cheaper - 
on the order of $600 per unit. And we would need label printers for other areas 
as well - accessioning (six sites), grossing (three sites), consults 
slide/block labeling, cytology, EM, etc. 

We demoed both the direct slide printers and label printers. It was good to 
test them side by side because the pros and cons were very apparent. 

Besides the price of the direct slide printers we found they jammed often. They 
did not usually have an adequate output chute for the quantity slides we would 
print (often far more than the 5 or 10-slide capacity of the output chutes 
available. Also, we realized that since we use a few different slides types we 
would need to change slides while printing. That means segregating various 
types of labeled slides and somehow printing separately while needing to change 
out the slides each time. It was  a logistical problem for the cutters. (this 
would be solved via centralized slide printing and routing different stain 
types to their correct slide type thru software. But we wanted to print at the 
microtome for best practice safe labeling of slides where they are cut). Then 
we found that if a the printed label on a slide was somehow damaged (smudged, 
scratched, etc) we would need to print a slide label to fix it. And how do you 
label a slide with a control tissue already mounted - it risks damaging the 
tissue section to run it thru a slide printer (and does the control have a 
label of some sort already?)

Slide labels on the other hand were very flexible. We could print as many as 
needed right away  (in literally a few seconds). Output quantity was not an 
issue. Any damaged could be reprinted right away. We could use any number of 
different types of slides to mount sections and apply the label we had. The 
cost of the labels would take 5 to 10  years to meet the cost of a direct slide 
printer (depending on how many labels any given printer produced per year, and 
by then you would probably move on to new printers anyway). 

We do use a direct slide printer for pre-mounted control slides. Then we put a 
printed label on the slide for staining with the specific stain necessary. 

The one issue I was concerned about was whether the techs would accept having 
to apply labels to every slide (which was previously done after staining by one 
person - with many mistakes!). But during testing and implementation we had 
every tech try out both systems and they did not mind putting on labels. They 
thought it was far better than the hand-writing they had been doing. When we 
went live no one ever complained about putting labels on slides. 

We use the same labels for slides, requisitions and containers so no extra cost 
for different kinds of labels and printers. 

1)  What are you using? Cognitive label printers from General Data and 
StainerShield labels (survive every known histology chemical we have tried, 
including antigen retrieval). 

2)  Did you first try any other vendors besides the one you are using now? 
General Data (printed labels), ThermoFisher SlideMate, ShurMark (etcher - very 
slow printing) (we tried other printed label makers as well but GD was the best 
by far). I will note that when using printed labels you must use a matched 
system - the labels and printers from each vendor are designed to work together 
for the ideal results. Mixing and matching printers and labels is very 
difficult. Since the vendor has already done that, use their system (take it 
from someone who tried to do that!). 

3)  Do you like what you are using now? Very much. It works perfectly. 

4)  Is it a one or two slide hopper - ie can you load and then select 
charged or non-charged slides? No need with printed labels. 

5)  Are you using vendor specific recommended slides or have you 
substituted for a cheaper or other option?  We use various slides. Labels can 
go on any slide. However, with label printing you must used the matched system 
a vendor offers - label and printer are designed to work together for best 
results.

6)  We are looking specifically at Leica, SlideMate and ESPO - do you have 
any experience of info from other users you know about these vendors? General 
Data. Absolutely excellent. 


I suggest making a table with each printer or labeler in the columns and then a 
list on the left of the key features you want, or they have. Then compare each 
one.

Jennifer,

I have the Primera Signature Slide printer made by Primera Technology and sold 
by Creative Waste Solutions.  http://cwsincorp.com/
I really like it.  You can use it as a stand-alone or connected to your APLIS.  
It's compact and works very well.  You can print your slides with a color band 
across the top to distinguish different stains or types of tissue if you want 
or add bar coding.  I don't use bar coding yet so I can't say how well that 
function works.  The printing on the slides is very good.  There hasn't been 
any smudging or fading. There is a little bit of babysitting but not much.  
Tech support is fast and reliable when needed.  
If I can answer any other questions feel free to get in touch with me.

Surgipath used to have a small slide printer.  It would print individual 
slides.  Does anyone know if there is still such a printer available?

RE: [Histonet] SLIDE PRINTER

2009-07-29 Thread Laurie Colbert 
We have two units that we bought from Accuplace when it was called the
PSLIM.  We had a fair amount of problems with them and I was ready to
return them, but Accuplace sent someone out to service them, and they
are working really well.  I've heard that when Fisher took over the
slide printer, they revamped it, so that it would have less problems.
We have the Thermo Fisher Printmate cassette labeler, and we have a 2D
barcode print on the cassette.  The PSLIM (Slide Mate) reads the barcode
and prints out the number of slides that we tell it to.  We have it
programmed very simply right now, but it is flexible and you are able to
have it print various ways.  I love it!

Janice,
I know this well!  It is a terrible item.  This was originally sold under 
AccuPlace and it barely worked, but showed very nice at various meetings under 
a very controlled environment.  In fact it worked so well, that the nice people 
at Thermo decided to purchase this from AccuPlace and more than double the 
price and hope to dupe us to purchase at almost 2700% increase for the same 
item.
While I have returned my units plenty of time and Thermo has added some of 
their crack engineering to the item.
Save your money and run from Thermo, buy a Leica or wait for TBS or someone 
else to come up with something better for a cost you can justify.
I will never purchase anything from Thermo again, every time you do, it only 
justifies what they are doing to the market.

BUT...I have a small lab and can't justify a more expensive printer so  
we purchased this printer - in fact we probably purchased the last one  
that AccuPlace sold before Thermo got it.
I like it a lot and even though we have returned a couple of them we  
have no complaints. It does a nice job. We were lucky to get it at the  
AccuPlace price.

RE: [Histonet] SLIDE PRINTER

2009-07-29 Thread Michael Mihalik 
I guess I'm confused.  If pricing is an issue, why not go with a Zebra
printer that prints labels.  I wholeheartedly agree that printing directly
on slides is a preferred solution, but the up front cost is a killer.  I
wouldn't blame a lab for going with slide LABELS.

Frankly, if it was me, I'd save the money on this printer and put it towards
a  cassette labeler.

If money is not an issue, then I'd get both.


P.S. ..and you guys are getting me nervous.  This is the second person that
I've heard that has 'returned a printer'.
