The grossing station is where the diagnostic journey begins. It is here that surgical specimens are received, examined, measured, dissected, and sampled for histological processing . This critical workflow exposes personnel to formalin vapors—a classified carcinogen—as well as bioaerosols and chemical fixatives . The SurgiPath™ series addresses these challenges head-on, applying operating room airflow management principles to create a safe, organized, and intelligent workspace for anatomic pathology.
A. Dual-Draft Ventilation System
Unlike conventional fume hoods, the features an advanced dual-draft ventilation configuration that combines two complementary airflow strategies :
Down-Draft: Airflow is directed downward through a perforated work surface, capturing heavier-than-air formalin vapors at the source
Back-Draft: Airflow is directed from the user toward the rear of the station, creating a negative pressure barrier that prevents fumes from escaping into the breathing zone
This dual-draft system achieves a total extraction rate of up to 1200 m³/h, ensuring complete containment of hazardous vapors . The workstation has been tested to provide a protection factor exceeding 10⁵, complying with international safety standards including EN 12469:2000 and NIOSH short-term exposure limits .
B. Advanced Filtration Options
Choose the configuration that matches your facility's infrastructure:
Direct Exhaust Model: Connects to centralized building ventilation for facilities with existing ductwork
Self-Contained Filtration Model: Features integrated HEPA H14 and activated carbon filtration, capturing both particulates (99.995% @ 0.3μm) and formalin vapors before recirculating clean air back into the laboratory
C. Surgical-Grade Construction
304/316L Stainless Steel: All wetted surfaces are constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel, offering exceptional resistance to formalin, xylene, and harsh cleaning agents
Fully Sealed Design: Seamless construction with coved corners eliminates bacterial reservoirs and facilitates thorough decontamination
Electropolished Finish: The ultra-smooth surface resists protein adhesion and is significantly easier to clean than standard brushed finishes
A. Height-Adjustable Work Surface
The entire work surface is electrically adjustable from 800mm to 1000mm, allowing users of all statures to work in a comfortable seated or standing position . This reduces physical strain during long grossing sessions and promotes proper posture.
B. Integrated Waste Management
Tissue Pulverizer: Built-in electric pulverizer (560W, 4200rpm) with 1200mL capacity for efficient disposal of waste tissue
Automatic Flushing System: The lower countertop includes a flushing device that directs waste into the sink and through the disposal system, keeping the workspace clean
Removable Debris Trap: Prevents large particles from entering facility plumbing
C. Illumination and Sterilization
LED Task Lighting: Energy-efficient, long-life LED lights provide shadow-free illumination of the work surface
UV Disinfection Lamp: Automatic UV sterilization cycle decontaminates the work surface when the station is not in use
Magnifying Lamp Option: Integrated magnifier with LED illumination for detailed specimen examination
The Series offers advanced digital capabilities for the modern pathology laboratory:
Touchscreen Control Interface: 7-inch waterproof touchscreen for intuitive control of all workstation functions
Camera Integration: Mount for digital camera or document scanner, enabling high-resolution specimen photography directly at the grossing station
Keyboard and Display Holder: Ergonomic positioning of computer accessories for paperless workflow
Voice Recording Compatibility: Integration with dictation systems for hands-free documentation
Recent industry developments highlight the growing importance of digital integration at the grossing station. Partnerships between equipment manufacturers and digital pathology companies are bringing AI-assisted imaging and workflow optimization directly to the work surface, improving specimen traceability and diagnostic consistency.
The Grossing Workstation has been rigorously tested for containment efficiency:
Potassium Iodide Test: Demonstrates protection factors exceeding the 10⁵ safety threshold required by EN 12469:2000
Formaldehyde Tracer-Gas Testing: Formaldehyde concentrations at the user's breathing zone remain below the NIOSH short-term exposure limit (STEL) of 123 μg/m³ during active use
Optical Gas Imaging: Real-time visualization confirms complete capture of vapors by the dual-draft ventilation system
Hospital Pathology Departments: Routine surgical specimen grossing and sampling
Forensic Medical Examiner Offices: Medicolegal autopsy tissue preparation
Medical Teaching Facilities: Pathology resident training and education
Research Laboratories: Tissue harvesting and processing for research studies
