What are the Key Components of an Automated Histology Workflow?
An automated histology workflow typically includes the following components:
1. Tissue Processors: These devices automate the dehydration, clearing, and infiltration of tissue samples. 2. Microtomes: Automated microtomes create uniform tissue sections for slide preparation. 3. Stainers: Automated stainers apply specific stains to tissue sections to highlight different cellular components. 4. Imaging Systems: High-throughput imaging systems capture detailed images of stained tissue sections. 5. Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS): LIMS software manages sample tracking, data collection, and analysis.
