Pathology grossing stations are dedicated workspaces within a pathology laboratory where tissue specimens are prepared for further microscopic evaluation. These stations play a crucial role in the diagnostic process, ensuring that specimens are handled properly and that valuable information is not lost. Here is a detailed overview of pathology grossing stations.
Location and Setup
Grossing stations are typically located in a separate area of the laboratory, away from other processes that could potentially contaminate the specimens. The workstations are designed to provide a clean, organized, and ergonomically friendly environment for pathologists and technicians. They are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including surgical knives, scissors, rulers, and other grossing tools, as well as sinks for rinsing and specimen containers.
