Rethinking Lab Automation

By Michael Dugan, M.D. Nearly all automotive and aviation assembly uses similar processes, however in laboratories, particularly anatomic pathology which is less automated, we may think of the workflow process in a linear fashion. Such ideas are quickly becoming outdated. Today a multi-faceted, multi-component process of assembling a final report is possible.

How does laboratory automation empower PAs?

The main impact of automation that drives its development and adoption is consistency. Consistency is valuable in a Pathology lab because it delivers benefits across quality, timing, cost and reliability. However, the pursuit of consistency in the lab must be balanced with the inherent variety of specimens that the lab is tasked with analyzing. FormaPath is extremely mindful of figuring out which processes can be automated so that more time can be dedicated to more important and complex tasks.

FormaPath announces clinical research and development collaboration with University at Buffalo Center for Advanced Technology

FormaPath and Dr. John Tomaszewski, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Chair of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB, will use AdiPress to conduct comprehensive analyses of tissue specimens to identify and create lymph node-rich samples. This work will lead to the eventual creation of a digital lymph node database, which will allow FormaPath to explore computational methods—including AI—that identify and analyze lymph nodes with metastatic disease.
