Bringing intelligent archiving for tissue samples to U.S. pathology labs

By automating the sorting, storage, and retrieval of blocks and slides, Epredia’s automated archiving solutions protect and organize your pathology samples for the future while reclaiming valuable staff time. 

With full physical and digital traceability, you always know the location of every sample – and who interacted with it. 

We’ve added two automated archiving solutions, BlockTracker and SlideTracker, to our product portfolio in the U.S., enabling more labs to access comprehensive traceability for the life of every pathology sample. 

Why automated archiving matters

  • Automated archiving removes manual tasks and the potential for human error from the block and slide archiving process, while giving your lab complete visibility and control:
  • Full chain of custody: Trace each sample’s location and every interaction throughout its life in the archive.
  • Reclaim staff time: Reallocate the time staff spend on manual sorting to higher-value work.
  • Automated pick lists: Generate retrieval lists and place samples into any magazine for refilling.
  • Off-site control: Take control of off-site archiving with visibility to the location of every sample.

One solution, two automated platforms

Two purpose-built devices and a shared, intuitive database cover the full archiving workflow for both blocks and slides.

Built to fit the way your lab already works

Automated archiving preserves your existing weekly or monthly archiving routines, integrates with LIS and IT architecture, and uses standard histology boxes.

High-density storage reduces space requirements by up to 30%, lowering both on-site footprint and long-term off-site storage costs – while a centralized, intuitive database adds smart analysis and reporting accessible from any workstation1.

Database and storage solutions

Both the BlockTracker and SlideTracker share one intuitive database, so every sample is immediately findable and traceable the moment it is scanned – with no requirement to assign a lab zone or tray location during scanning.

Manage the database and pick lists from any PC or tablet on the network, and gain visibility to changes in sample volume and database entries over time.

  • Smart analysis and reporting: Review statistics on archived samples and analyze archived-specimen workflow from any workstation in the lab.
  • Consumable management: Consumable usage and future requirements are tracked, with suggested ordering patterns.
  • Flexible, standard storage: Industry-standard boxes fit your current shelf systems and maximize storage density, while plastic containers keep blocks secure.
  • Off-site control: Easily transfer boxes to off-site locations, print box contents to preserve chain of custody, and reduce third-party storage cost with high-density storage – up to 30% less space for long-term archiving1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product FAQs

Common technical and purchasing questions can be answered directly on the product page, reducing unnecessary navigation.

Do Epredia’s automated archiving solutions integrate with our LIS?

Yes. Our block and slide archiving equipment integrates with any LIS and your current IT architecture, so pathologists can request samples directly from existing software – no PDA or additional hardware required. 

 

High-density storage reduces space requirements by up to 30% compared with other automated platforms, and can cut down on third-party storage – lowering both on-site footprint and long-term storage cost1.

1Data on file.

Yes. Epredia’s automated archiving equipment uses industry-standard histology block and slide boxes that fit your existing shelf systems, so you can adopt it without rebuilding your storage infrastructure. 

 

No. Labs maintain their existing weekly or monthly archiving routines while the system automates the manual tasks within them, and historical specimens can be archived without impacting daily workload.
