Frequently Asked Questions
1: When is a Block Storage Cabinet used in histology labs?
It is used to store paraffin-embedded tissue blocks after processing for future reference or compliance. Proper storage ensures easy retrieval and sample protection. It supports long-term archiving and record-keeping.
2: Can it accommodate different block sizes?
Yes, most cabinets include adjustable or universally sized compartments. They hold various block formats used in routine pathology. Some models offer customized inserts for specific lab needs.
3: Can it be expanded as storage needs grow?
Yes, modular designs allow stacking or side-by-side expansion. This makes scaling storage capacity easy without overhauling lab space. Plan configuration based on future sample volume.
4: When should internal drawers or trays be cleaned?
Regular cleaning every few months is recommended, especially in high-turnover labs. Dust and paraffin residue can accumulate over time. Wipe down using non-corrosive, lab-safe cleaners.
5: Can it support labelling and inventory systems?
Yes, cabinets typically feature label holders or tagging options for organized indexing. Some labs integrate barcoded systems for digital tracking. This improves efficiency and reduces retrieval errors.
