The more context you share about your laboratory and workload, the better we can tailor the information we send back.
The histopathology journey begins at the grossing station, where specimens are examined, described, and prepared with precision to protect downstream quality.
ISTOS Medical grossing stations combine ventilation, lighting, and storage to support safe, efficient specimen handling for busy pathology teams.
Structured layouts and integrated utilities help reduce motion, maintain specimen integrity, and support consistent grossing documentation.

Precision sectioning with vacuum stabilization for delicate specimens. AVR technology ensures consistent slices, reduced chatter, and superior reproducibility in histopathology workflows.
Streamlined tissue preparation for embedding efficiency. The ETP system automates dehydration, clearing, and paraffin infiltration, delivering uniform results while saving valuable technician time.
Safe and precise cutting of hard tissue samples. Controlled sectioning of bone and implant specimens, preserving structural integrity for accurate microscopic evaluation.
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.
