Articles & Guides
Short reads on histopathology workflows, equipment selection and lab operations.
Optimising Tissue Processing Workflows
An overview of TP, FTP, ETP and EFTP processors and how standardised processing improves section quality, uptime and reagent usage.
Microtomy Systems for Precision Sectioning
Key considerations for choosing rotary microtomes, blades and accessories to achieve repeatable, high‑quality sections across your caseload.
Optimizing Lab Ergonomics
Pathologists and technicians spend long hours handling delicate specimens. Poor ergonomics can lead to fatigue, errors, and even long‑term health issues. By integrating adjustable workstations, intuitive layouts, and anti‑fatigue provisions, ISTOS ensures that every operator can work comfortably and sustainably.
Digital Pathology
Sample mislabeling or workflow bottlenecks can compromise diagnostic quality. ISTOS introduces digital sample tracking systems that streamline the journey from grossing to reporting:
Immunohistochemistry
Quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) has moved from being a purely qualitative “brown or not brown” stain to a powerful tool for measuring biomarker expression in a reproducible way. In clinical research, especially in oncology and translational trials, these numbers increasingly drive eligibility, stratification, and even treatment decisions.
Automated Vacuum Rotary Microtome
Precision sectioning with vacuum stabilization for delicate specimens. AVR technology ensures consistent slices, reduced chatter, and superior reproducibility in histopathology workflows.
Embedding Tissue Processor
Streamlined tissue preparation for embedding efficiency. The ETP system automates dehydration, clearing, and paraffin infiltration, delivering uniform results while saving valuable technician time.
Diamond Band Saw System
Safe and precise cutting of hard tissue samples. Controlled sectioning of bone and implant specimens, preserving structural integrity for accurate microscopic evaluation.
Vibrating Microtome
Gentle sectioning for fresh or fragile tissue. The Vibrotome enables thin slices without freezing or embedding, ideal for neuroscience and research labs working with living or delicate samples.
