  • System and method of monitoring tissue samples to be processed by a tissue processor
    Patent number: 11614386
    Abstract: A system for monitoring tissue samples to be processed by a tissue processor for a histopathology workflow, the system including: a scanner associated with the tissue processor arranged to scan an electronic sample identifier of at least one tissue sample to be processed by the tissue processor; an input module arranged to receive tissue processor workflow data indicative of a tissue processor workflow for the at least one tissue sample to be processed by selected ones of a plurality of processing stations in the tissue processor used for processing the at least one tissue sample; a monitoring module arranged to monitor properties of the at least one tissue sample processed at each of the selected ones of the processing stations and to record the properties of the at least one tissue sample in association with the electronic sample identifier in a sample record for the tissue processor workflow; and an output module arranged to output the sample record to one or more laboratory instruments for further process
