Equipping a modern pathology lab isn’t just about space—it's about workflow, safety, and precision. One of the most critical tools in any histology lab, medical examiner’s suite, or academic pathology department is the grossing station.
Grossing stations are the central workbench for handling, dissecting, and evaluating tissue specimens. A poorly ventilated or non-ergonomic station can result in fatigue, fume exposure, and compliance failures. That’s why many labs are investing in customizable grossing workstations that offer everything from formalin fume control to integrated utilities.
🧪 What Is a Grossing Station?
A grossing station is a ventilated stainless steel workstation where pathology professionals perform tissue examinations before microscopic analysis. It typically includes:
-
Formalin fume extraction systems
-
Backdraft or downdraft ventilation
-
Hot/cold water access and sink
-
Lighting for specimen clarity
-
Magnifiers or splash shields
-
Storage drawers for instruments and PPE
This equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring technician safety while maintaining the integrity of tissue samples.
