StatLab Medical Products Launches PiSmart S1 Slide Printer with Texas Manufacturing Expansion

StatLab Medical Products has globally launched the PiSmart S1 single-hopper slide printer, expanding its PiSmart labeling and tracking solutions portfolio. The new printer features a redesigned intuitive touch-screen interface and hardware enhancements for improved speed, flexibility, and reliability in laboratory workflows. This advancement addresses critical needs in pathology laboratories where accurate specimen tracking and efficient workflow management are essential for patient care and diagnostic accuracy.

The compact PiSmart S1 supports on-demand printing while enhancing barcode readability and specimen tracking accuracy. Every printer comes with the PiSmart Promise, providing four years of service included when using StatLab validated slides. This integrated approach combines printers with precision-manufactured KT® Premium Slides to create a complete solution built for accuracy and reliability, potentially reducing laboratory errors and improving operational efficiency.

The product launch coincides with significant progress at StatLab's Arlington, Texas manufacturing facility, where U.S.-based slide production of KT slides is scheduled to begin before the end of 2025. This expansion follows a strategic in-region, for-region manufacturing model that will strengthen domestic slide supply for American laboratories. The facility complements StatLab's existing cassette and container production in Arlington, expanding availability of essential products across the pathology workflow and contributing to Texas's growing medical manufacturing sector.

StatLab CEO Dae Hong stated that the company is delivering more than just an expanded printer portfolio, offering a complete solution that provides laboratories with peace of mind. The combination of the new PiSmart S1 with StatLab validated slides, soon to be manufactured in the United States, ensures consistent performance backed by an included service program not available elsewhere in the market. This approach may set new industry standards for integrated laboratory solutions and customer support.

The PiSmart S1 is currently available for order through StatLab and authorized partners. Additional information can be found at https://StatLab.com/PiSmart. This development represents significant progress in medical technology manufacturing within Texas, potentially creating jobs and strengthening the state's position in the healthcare innovation sector while ensuring reliable domestic production of critical laboratory supplies.
