SPOT Imaging’s BlocDoc™ captures macro images of each cut block in as little as two seconds per sample. It also provides the crucial assurance that the entirety of the sample has been documented – providing Pathologists the images they need to verify their slide examinations.
Many reference labs struggle with establishing what they have received from their clients organizations. Most have found that failure to document the incoming samples can lead to their reputation being put into question.
To address this issue may have implemented table top document scanners. These scanners provide a minimum documentation in a workflow that is slow and cumbersome often taking 60 seconds to scan, and save the image files. For large labs this has turned into full time employment for multiple workers producing marginal quality images.
BlocDoc changes the equation by providing a system that is designed for the job automatically capturing and saving enhanced images of labeled cassettes and slides. Placing the cassette or slide takes 2 seconds and the BlocDoc does the rest. The result is a 30x increase in worker productivity freeing worker to perform essential work elsewhere in the lab. The second benefit are professional images that provide tissue detail necessary for conclusive discussions about the samples received bolstering your institution's reputation.
