WHY PATHRULER™

Designed to solve everyday challenges in histology.

High Volume histology operations demand accuracy, consistency, and speed. PathRuler™ integrates specimen measurement directly into the tissue cassette, creating a smarter point-of-use solution for the grossing workflow.

                                                                                       Challenge 01

ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENT

Measurement and containment in one device.

Traditional workflows require technicians to measure tissue with a separate ruler and then transfer the specimen into a cassette. During high-volume grossing, repetitive handling and fatigue can lead to visual estimation or measurement variability.

01

PATHRULER™ SOLUTION

Built-in rulers provide an immediate visual reference as soon as tissue is placed into the cassette, helping support more consistent measurement while reducing unnecessary steps.

                                                                                       Challenge 02

CROSS-CONTAMINATION AND MIX-UPS

A dedicated measuring reference for every specimen.

Shared rulers at the grossing station may come into contact with multiple patient specimens, creating opportunities for carry-over contamination or handling errors when cleaning and quality-control practices vary.

02

PATHRULER™ SOLUTION

Each cassette includes its own integrated ruler, reducing dependence on shared measuring tools and supporting cleaner, more reliable specimen handling practices.

                                                                                       Challenge 03

SPEED AND EFFICIENCY

Fewer steps. Less handling. Faster workflow.

Positioning a separate ruler over tissue while aligning the specimen, reading the scale, recording the measurement, and then transferring the tissue into a cassette can be time-consuming and technically awkward.

03

PATHRULER™ SOLUTION

The measurement guide is immediately available inside the cassette, helping combine measurement and containment into one streamlined grossing step.

                                                                                       Challenge 04

STANDARDIZATION

One consistent reference across technicians and sites.

Separate rulers and individual measuring habits can introduce variation between technicians, shifts, and laboratory locations- especially when teams are working under time pressure.

04

PATHRULER™ SOLUTION

A fixed ruler built into every cassette helps establish a repeatable point of reference, supporting standardized grossing practices and a more consistent workflow.
