VistaPath Sentinel vs. QBench

The Sentinel system features a sample container and cassette that work together to capture images of both the tissue and the accompanying label. It is designed to constantly track the use of containers and cassettes, effectively minimizing the risk of specimen mix-ups. As tissue is transferred into the cassette, the Sentinel adeptly identifies, measures, and photographs each piece of tissue with remarkable speed. A gross report is generated automatically using a specific template from the laboratory, which the technician subsequently reviews before adding to the patient's medical records. In under a second, the Sentinel accurately finds, measures, and images the tissue upon placement in the cassette. Its precision in measurements surpasses the reliability of manual techniques employed by technicians. Moreover, the system generates visually attractive, full-color reports that encompass a gross description, patient and clinician details, as well as images of the container, its label, and the cassette itself, thereby ensuring thorough documentation of the specimens. This state-of-the-art technology significantly bolsters the efficiency and accuracy of the specimen handling process, streamlining workflows and enhancing overall productivity.
