Leica IP S Inkjet Printer for Microscope Slides
The Leica IP S imprints slides in only four seconds per imprint when running in serial mode. A resistant ink, specially designed for Leica Biosystems, makes imprints durable to chemical exposure and physical wear. Whether alphanumeric characters or 2D-Datamatrix barcodes, the print resolution is always satisfactory with good legibility. Barcode imprints enable laboratories to track specimen throughout the complete histology workflow. It also permits reliable archiving with quick and accurate case identification. An optional external magazine helps to automate the slide sorting process to avoid specimen mix-ups.

Barcode printed slide
Barcode printed slide used for tracking supports reduction of human error through automation and traceability.


Ink-jet technology
The Leica IP S slide printer uses a resistant ink that prevails against the chemicals used in your histology laboratory. The imprint on each slide remains readily identifiable throughout the histology process and storage period.
Batch job printing
Batch job printing: 4 sec. per slide (two line printing) Single-slide printing: 10 sec. per slide; for high throughput and optimized workflow.

Automated unload station
The optional unload station holds up to 110 slides, automating the manual slide sorting process and helping to avoid sequence mix up of printed slides.
LIS integration
Designed to be used as a centralized single-user, or multiple-user PC workstation, where several printers can be connected to one PC.

Frequently Asked Questions
HistoCore Microtomes
Does the new HistoCore RM antistatic tray fit on the older RM22xx series?
No – the microtome base plates of both series have different dimensions and are not compatible with each other.
How does the new antistatic waste tray reduce contamination?
The antistatic waste tray is made from resistant antistatic material to avoid debris sticking to the walls of the tray.
Is the new 2-in-1 blade holder compatible as a whole assembly with the older RM22xx series?
Yes – only in the combination blade holder and 2-in-1 blade holder.
Can we still use the backlighting with the new blade holder base for the 2-in-1 blade holder?
No – the 2-in-1 blade holder base does not have the cut-out for the backlighting.
Which accessories of the older RM22xx Series cannot be used with the HistoCore RMs anymore?
- Small section waste tray
- Large section waste tray
- Top tray – HistoCore RM top tray is 40% larger than the RM22xx series tray
- Cooling Device – too small to be placed on instrument top. However, it’s still good to place next to the instrument
What is the advantage of the personalized coarse feed wheel?
Convenience and ease-of-user – users can select their personal preference of coarse feed wheel turn direction. This feature is preserved from the RM22xx series, allowing users to trim at the high pace.
What is the advantage of “Fast homing”?
The return speed of the object head from front to home position has been reduced from 26 seconds (older series) to 13 seconds (new series). This accelerated speed helps to shorten the sectioning process each time the object head is returned to home position.
What is the advantage of the Memory Position?
When batch trimming and using the same height of blocks, Memory Position will help to accelerate the sectioning.
- First insert a new block
- Bring the block to the blade
- Set the Memo position (stored)
- Trim
- Remove block for re-cooling
- Press “Memo” – the object head returns to the set object change position
- Insert a new block – check position
- Trim again
