- Labeling: Specimens are labeled with unique barcodes at the time of collection. These barcodes are linked to the patient's information and other relevant data in the laboratory information system (LIS). - Scanning: At each stage of the histology processâsuch as sample preparation, staining, and analysisâtechnicians scan the barcode using a barcode reader. This updates the status of the specimen in the LIS. - Data Integration: The scanned data is automatically entered into the LIS, ensuring that all relevant information is available in real-time for review and analysis.
