Prefills and fixatives

StatClick™ prefilled containers produce an audible “clicking” sound when the leak-proof seal has been properly engaged, assuring accurate closure and maintaining specimen integrity during transport.  Packaged in StatLab’s proprietary HistoPak™ carrier for easy distribution or in bulk, containers are 95kPa certified for transport in compliance with DOT and IATA standards for leak-resistant transportation. StatClick prefills are manufactured in McKinney, Texas. A variety of other innovative prefills are manufactured in both Wales and Italy for their respective markets. 

Cassettes

The next stop is at the grossing bench where specimens are placed into cassettes. Cassettes are manufactured in both Newtown, Wales, and Arlington, Texas. An experienced team with over 35 years of experience in design and injection molding engineering and production manages all cassette development and production. 15 injection molding lines between the two manufacturing locations produce a variety of embedding, biopsy and microbiopsy cassettes compatible with a variety of laser and thermal transfer printers, as well as cassettes unique to the StatLab PiSmart Cassette Printer.

Processing 

Processing reagents fuel histology laboratories. Without xylene, alcohol, formalin and more, labs can't process and prepare specimens for diagnosis. As a primary manufacturer of these products, we help ensure supply reliability of this important category for any clinical pathology lab. Diapath, a StatLab company located in Italy, manufactures a tissue processor supported in laboratories across the EU.

Paraffin

Paraffin wax is manufactured in McKinney Texas, for use in embedding specimens prior to cutting. A variety of melting points are available to meet lab's preferences for paraffin. Over the past few years as geopolitical conflict created disruption in the petroleum supply chain, StatLab worked with raw material suppliers to negotiate for increased supply for this critical product, and prevented backorders for customers across the US, in addition to shipping metric tonnes of product over to the UK to prevent NHS laboratories from shutting down. 

Microtomy

The Galileo automatic and semi-automatic microtome is manufactured in Italty and is available for laboratories across the EU, soon to include other regions. Accompanying high-quality blades support the entire microtomy process in the lab.

Glass Microscope Slides, Cover Glass and Mounting Medium 

The addition of Knittel Glass, acquired by StatLab in 2023, expanded StatLab manufacturing capabilities to microscope slides and coverglass. KT Premium Slides, manufactured and sold through StatLab and multiple distribution channels, were developed and manufactured in Germany at the StatLab Braunschweig site. Printed diagnostic slides are manufactured in Des Plaines, Illinois, for a variety of specialty microbiology applications. 

Stains and Controls

A variety of standard and premium hematoxylin and eosin formulations have been produced in McKinney Texas since 2013, under the guidance of industry R&D stain experts. In 2018 American Mastertech joined the StatLab family of companies, adding formulations for special stain kits and components. The addition of Poly Scientific R&D Corp. in 2024 expanded stain manufacturing as well as increased capabilities to include special stain control slide manufacturing in McKinney, Texas. Stains are also manufactured in Newtown, Wales, and Martinengo, Italy.
