Problem
Pathology labs rely on manual tissue processing, which is prone to technician variability, sample errors, and delays in lymph node dissection. Inconsistent turnaround times and incomplete lymph node retrieval can negatively impact cancer staging and critical care decisions.
Solution
FormaPath provides automated tissue processing solutions for pathology labs, increasing the quality and efficiency of the grossing lab. The AdiPress leverages Automated Compressive Filtration to separate lymph nodes from adipose tissue, enabling complete Census Level Nodal Assessment. This technology reduces sample error and ensures more accurate cancer staging. The LymFilter arranges the lymph node-rich tissue sample in square sections for further processing. FormaPath's solutions eliminate the need to return to the bucket, delivering same-day turnaround time.
Target Audience
FormaPath's primary customers are pathology labs seeking to improve the efficiency and accuracy of tissue processing for cancer staging.
