StatLab Launches PiSmart S1 Slide Printer and Expands U.S. Manufacturing in Texas
StatLab Medical Products has launched the PiSmart S1 single-hopper slide printer and is expanding its U.S. manufacturing capabilities in Arlington, Texas, enhancing domestic supply chain resilience for pathology laboratories.
StatLab Medical Products, a leading global developer and manufacturer of pathology supplies and equipment, has announced the global launch of the PiSmart S1 single-hopper slide printer. This expansion of its existing PiSmart labeling and tracking solutions includes both slide and cassette printers, designed to improve laboratory efficiency and specimen tracking accuracy.
The PiSmart S1 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. Every PiSmart printer is backed by the PiSmart Promise, which includes four years of service when using StatLab validated slides. This integrated approach pairs printers with precision-manufactured, validated KT® Premium Slides, creating 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. This expansion complements StatLab's existing cassette and container production in Arlington and increases availability of essentials across the pathology workflow.

Dae Hong, StatLab CEO, stated that the company is delivering more than just an expanded printer portfolio with this launch, but offering a complete solution. With the new PiSmart S1 paired with StatLab validated slides, soon to be manufactured in the U.S., laboratories gain peace of mind. The company trusts PiSmart products to perform day after day, which is why it confidently backs the full solution with an included service program not found elsewhere, allowing labs to stay focused on delivering the best patient care possible. The PiSmart S1 is available for order today through StatLab and authorized partners.
