Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating hybrid solutions for staining of specimens according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving a request for a staining process for a specimen placed on a specimen container that is further placed within a process chamber, where the specimen includes a specimen needing a diagnosis. The method may further include reading or capturing process data relating to the specimen, where the process data includes at least one of basic information and customization instructions. The method may further include facilitating the staining process of the specimen based on the process data.
