StatLab Medical, a developer and manufacturer of pathology supplies and equipment, today 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 PiSmart S1 features a redesigned touch-screen interface for easier operation, along with hardware enhancements. Its compact footprint supports on-demand printing, adapting to lab workflows while improving barcode readability and specimen tracking accuracy.
The launch coincides with 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 an "in-region, for-region" manufacturing model, the facility will strengthen domestic slide supply of adhesion slides for American labs, complementing StatLab’s existing cassette and container production in Arlington and expanding availability of essentials across the pathology workflow.
“We’re excited to deliver more than just an expanded printer portfolio with this launch—we’re offering a complete solution,” said StatLab CEO Dae Hong in a statement. “With the new PiSmart S1 paired with StatLab validated slides, soon to be manufactured here in the U.S., labs gain peace of mind. We trust PiSmart products to perform day after day, which is why we confidently back the full solution with an included service program you won’t find elsewhere—so labs can stay focused on delivering the best patient care possible.”
