StatLab Launches PiSmart S1 Slide Printer and Expands U.S. Manufacturing Capabilities

StatLab Medical Products announced the global launch of the PiSmart S1 single-hopper slide printer, expanding its existing PiSmart labeling and tracking solutions of both slide and cassette printers. The new printer features a completely redesigned, intuitive touch-screen interface for easier operation, along with hardware enhancements that ensure consistent performance. Its compact footprint supports on-demand printing, adapting seamlessly to diverse lab workflows while improving barcode readability and specimen tracking accuracy.

Every PiSmart printer is backed by the PiSmart Promise: four years of service included with the use of StatLab validated slides. This integrated approach—pairing printers with precision-manufactured, validated KT® Premium Slides—creates a complete solution built for accuracy and reliability. The launch coincides with major progress at StatLab’s Arlington, Texas manufacturing site, where U.S.-based slide production of KT slides is on track to begin before the end of 2025.

As part of a strategic in-region, for-region manufacturing model, the facility will strengthen domestic slide supply of best-in-class adhesion slides for American labs, complementing StatLab’s existing cassette and container production in Arlington and expanding availability of essentials across the pathology workflow. This expansion represents a significant step in addressing supply chain vulnerabilities and ensuring consistent access to critical pathology supplies.

The PiSmart S1 is available for order today through StatLab and authorized partners. For more information, visit https://StatLab.com/PiSmart. The combination of new technology and domestic manufacturing capabilities positions StatLab to better serve the pathology community with reliable, high-quality products that support improved patient care outcomes.
