Clinical workflow
a 4-step procedure within 5 minutes
Excision
Collection of fresh tissue.
Preparation
Immerse the excision in Histolog Dip for 10 sec, and rinse it for 2 - 5 sec in saline. This process is non-destructive, requires no slicing and no slides.
Imaging
Scan the specimen surface in ~1 minute. The specimen remains visible and accessible during the entire procedure.
Evaluation
Review Histolog images immediately. This can be done on-site on the Histolog touchscreen, or remotely via Histolog Remote.
