Bone decalcification is more than just soaking a specimen.

From selecting the right decalcifier to knowing when the process is complete, every step plays a role in preserving tissue quality and supporting accurate results.

One of our most popular HistoHints covers:
• Choosing the right decalcifier for your application
• Preventing under and over decalcification
• Methods for checking endpoint
• Practical tips to improve your workflow

What difference can the right slide make?

In this new SelectScience feature, Chandra Garrett, Lab Supervisor at Atrium Health, shares how her team improved tissue adhesion, streamlined workflows, and supported their transition to digital pathology by switching to KT Slides.

"We've had better quality in the slides. We've had the tissue stay on the slide so you can actually get a diagnosis. It works no matter what tissue we're putting on that slide." — Chandra Garrett, Lab Supervisor, Atrium Health

See how choosing the right slide helped improve consistency, simplify daily workflows, and build confidence in digital pathology.

A barcode that doesn't scan can slow workflows, increase rework, and introduce unnecessary risk.

Reliable barcode scanning helps laboratories improve workflow efficiency, maintain specimen traceability, reduce rescans, and support patient safety. But what actually drives first-pass scan success?

Our latest white paper explores what's behind barcode performance and explains why the PiSmart printers are engineered to maximize first-pass read rates through optimized contrast, barcode generation, cassette design, and print quality—not simply higher DPI.

Your tissue processor's agitation method may be affecting tissue integrity and diagnostic results.

Our latest white paper explores how agitation methods impact reagent exchange, tissue morphology, and molecular integrity—and why balanced, gentle agitation can help protect even the most delicate specimens while supporting consistent diagnostic results.

Learn how the Donatello Tissue Processor's unique bubbling agitation system promotes uniform reagent exchange without introducing unnecessary mechanical stress.
