There is no more need for time-consuming manual sorting of tissue blocks. In just minutes, the Arcos scans hundreds of blocks and records their exact location—from the position in the tray to the final storage point in your archive. Need a specimen for re-cutting? The Arcos System quickly gives you the location, records where you sent it, and when it is due back. When you’ve completed your work, simply place the block in the next tray to be scanned; the system will automatically update the location in your database.
