RFID technology can streamline various aspects of sample management in histology labs:
- Sample Collection: When samples are collected, RFID tags can be attached to containers, ensuring that each sample is correctly identified from the start. - Processing and Analysis: During processing, RFID readers can quickly scan and update the status of each sample, providing real-time information on its progress. - Storage: RFID helps in organizing and locating samples in storage facilities, reducing the time spent searching for specific specimens. - Data Integration: RFID systems can be integrated with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), allowing for seamless data sharing and more comprehensive sample tracking.
