Friendly robots help anatomic pathology laboratories maintain high quality and efficiency! Laboratories began introducing automation technology on a large scale only recently (during the 1970s and 1980s), borrowing heavily from the lessons learned in the manufacturing industry. Targeted use of automation is best suited for routine, repetitive processes such as staining large numbers of slides!
