A laboratory of pathological anatomy, is a specialized laboratory, where biopsy and cytology samples are processed by highly qualified personnel, for subsequent microscopic examination, interpretation and diagnosis by a pathologist doctor. This science not only studies the evolution and causes of a disease, but also makes a forecast of the effects that different diseases can have on humans. For this, tumor cells and body tissues are analyzed.
Thus, the pathologist or anatomopathologist identifies the causes and consequences of diseases that affect specific parts of the body, through microscopic analysis of tissue or cell samples, previously prepared with special dyes that help to identify structural alterations, in cells and tissues, as well as protein or genetic abnormalities.
Which studies are performed in a pathology laboratory?
Within the pathological and cytodiagnostic studies carried out in the pathological anatomy laboratories, two types of tests are distinguished: pathological and diagnostic. The first study analyzes a sample of tissue from any organ with the intention of identifying the cell type and which treatments would be useful to combat the alteration. As for diagnostic tests, they are also known as biopsies and their main objective is to obtain a sample of liquid or organic tissue to study the existence of a disease, with the intention of determining a specific diagnosis.
Main equipment used in a pathology laboratory
Instruments and equipment are currently used in pathology laboratories to obtain help in the diagnosis of many diseases, including cancer. Among the teams most employed in this science, we have: microtomes, microscopes, tissue processor, tissue water baths, cryostats, cooling plates, paraffin trimmer and dispenser, slide dryers, tissue inclusion systems, automatic staining systems for slides, among others.
What do we offer you in Kalstein?
At Kalstein we are manufacturers of pathology laboratory equipment at the best prices on the market. We have understood that accuracy is key and fundamental in a laboratory of pathological anatomy, since doctors rely on the information provided by the analyzes and tests carried out in them to define the best therapy for the patient, as well as to evaluate their condition and prognosis. That is why it is essential to have the highest quality laboratory equipment and the best technology, which are at the forefront of current advances.
