What exactly does AdiPress do?



AdiPress uses proprietary technology (Automated Compressive Filtration, or ACF) to physically separate adipose fat from lymph nodes. The result of ACF is a defatted tissue specimen containing lymph nodes and surrounding vasculature / connective tissue. This concentrated lymphatic tissue is captured in square wells in the specialized LymFilte containers that are perfectly sized for paraffin-embedding in standard cassettes. that can then be prepared for standard microscopic analysis.

Does using AdiPress change the tissue morphology of the resected sample?



AdiPress is calibrated to preserve lymph node morphology while efficiently compressing the sample. Labs report clear morphology and slides that are easy to read due to the lack of adipose fat obscuring the lymph nodes. Photo examples are available on request - please reach out to sales@formapath.com for more information.

How do these dense lymphatic specimens slice and stain? Are they easily interpreted?



Due to the sample being defatted, labs report efficient processing and staining. Pathologists report clean histology making lymph node identification and interpretation efficient. Photo examples are available on request - please reach out to sales@formapath.com for more information.
