We use Leica's IPC and IPS system and are very pleased with it. These labelers can be interfaced with any LIS system so that to the system they appear as just another printer. We also use the IPS to print our cytology slides that we use with the ThinPrep Imager.
We are also looking into a new product that Leica will be fielding soon called Leica Cerebro specimen tracking system. This system is sort of a middle ware that will interface with the LIS to enable bar code scanning instead of manual entry for virtually every step in the process. That includes everything from accessions to final check out. If we end up with this system, I will let you know how we like it.

We currently hand write all cassettes and slides. What labelers do you have and do you like them? Also does anyone have the Ventana Vantage system? If so, would you recommend Vantage?
