As Sara moves onto the next step in the pathology lab, we take a closer look at tissue processing – the stage where samples are prepared for embedding, sectioning, and ultimately diagnosis.

From cassette tracking and workflow management to automated processing systems, this part of the tour highlights the precision and organisation required to maintain an efficient digital histopathology workflow.

This tour is part of the new Key Labs initiative from Pathology News, exploring how leading laboratories have meaningfully digitised their workflows in practice through lab tours, interviews, and workflow showcases.

The Key Labs story begins with Region Skåne – one of Europe’s pioneering digital pathology laboratories.
