Several technologies are pivotal in reducing labor in histology:
Automated Tissue Processors: These instruments automate the dehydration, clearing, and infiltration of tissue samples, reducing the need for manual intervention. Microtomes: Advanced microtomes with automated features allow for precise and consistent sectioning of tissue samples. Digital Pathology: The digitization of slides enables remote analysis, image sharing, and the use of artificial intelligence for diagnostic purposes. Staining Machines: Automated stainers ensure consistent and reproducible staining of tissue sections, which is critical for accurate diagnosis.
