The guests of the BioVitrum booth showed a great interest to the island type grossing station specially designed for a one-time work of a doctor and a laboratory assistant "face to face".

The participants of the Arab Health 2018 took part in the workshop on the BioVitrum grossing station. At the demonstration visitors were able to immerse themselves in the pathologist work and evaluate the advantages of the grossing station while using the ePath macro system.

BioVitrum experts consulted on model features and modifications. The ergonomic design, the height adjustment system of the working surface and a fundamentally new illumination system had a lot of positive feedback from the exhibition participants, because these solutions provide comfortable conditions for doctor and meet all the requirements. The downdraft ventilation system for removing toxic air and air flap system prevent reagent vapors.

BioVitrum IT solution for grossing was also in focus of visitor’s interests. The grossing station was equipped with the company's own development - ePath. It is the macro imaging and grossing solution, with audio, video recording, and photo documentation. There was demonstrated an automatic laser calibration, which has no analogues in the world. Guests of BioVitrum exposition were also interested in marking and measuring during workflow which is possible using the built-in intuitive morphometry of the system. Compatibility of ePath  with DICOM, HL7 standards is one more advantage.



BioVitrum presented reagents and consumables for all stages of the histological process. Such extensive portfolio allows making a potential purchase of all necessary products from one manufacturer (supplier) at an affordable price

A particular interest was caused by the ready-to-use homogenized high-class paraffin media for histology - HISTOMIX® of BioVitrum own production, as well as a huge variety of its melting points. A wide range of reagents and kits for histology routine and special staining is available in different packaging options, which are extremely convenient in the daily practice of specialists.

At the BioVitrum booth were discussed the specific needs of doctors depending on the residence country (paraffin media with a higher melting point, the possibility of producing paraffin media in special packaging due to legislative aspects in terms of ecology and environmental protection, etc.). Specialists also discussed the possibilities for establishing long-term cooperation, and localization of consumables production on individual terms.
