January 2023—Spot Imaging has introduced three instruments for sample tracking and storage designed to address staffing shortages and storage inefficiencies. BlocDoc automatically captures images of cut blocks and raw slides for electronic sharing and tracking. The PathTracker scans cassettes and slide transport containers in bulk, scanning 150 cassettes in less than 25 seconds, and uploads the information to the PathTracker and laboratory information system. PathArchiv is a file-room sample management system for blocks and slides that can trace samples by case, loan status, location, or age.
