The pathologists creates a written/voice record of his findings and then creates stamp size tissue block, places them in tissue cassettes which are then processed into slides for microscopic examination.
There are six things to consider when selecting the right pathology grossing workstation for your laboratory.
Material of Construction
Stainless Steel is the de-facto material of construction for pathology grossing workstations because of its sturdiness, durability, corrosion resistance and clean ability. Usually SS 304 is used and if still better corrosion resistance is required one may opt for SS 316, which is more expensive than the former. The other thing to keep in mind is the thickness of the Stainless Steel which is usually expressed in Gauge. Generally a 16 Gauge SS is considered to be an optimal thickness for Grossing Work Station.
Ventilation
One can choose from three options of ventilations: downdraft, backdraft or both. Ventilation helps keep the toxic formalin and xylene fumes away from the user.
Work Space and Footprint
Check to see how big workspace is required for working and how much area can you assign for the unit. Select a model that can provide a maximum workspace with the lowest footprint. Specify if you will be needing a single or double user workspace. Adjustable height units are best suited as the working height can be increased or decreased depending on the user’s height. The other thing to consider would be the room height so that workstation height is specified accordingly.
Basic Features
The must have features of the workstation are dissecting board with integrated ruler, a sprinkler system with a perforated work space for easy cleaning, rounded edge sink with hot/cold water faucets, suitably powered drainage system to prevent blockages, illumination of the entire workarea with an additional spot light with movable hose, magnetic Instruments holder, workspace rulers, storage compartments, formalin dispensing units, integrated shelving, covered and waterproof electrical sockets.
Utility Compatibility
A Grossing Workstation will need to be connected to the water supply, the electric supply, the drainage system and the ventilation system. Check to see the manufacturers specifications to make sure that the workstation’s connecting points are compatible with the utility specifications of your lab.
Pathology Inspection Systems
It consists of a an integrated camera and an LCD screen that not only provides 2D measuring functions to provide accurate results but also stores and communicates sample data in both image and video format.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”Get in Touch!” h2_font_container=”font_size:25px” h2_use_theme_fonts=”yes” shape=”square” style=”flat” color=”green” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”Contact us” btn_style=”flat” btn_shape=”square” btn_color=”black” btn_size=”sm” use_custom_fonts_h2=”true”]We believe that the above information will help you take an informed decision when selecting the right pathology grossing workstation.
