IPI Pathomat is our fully automated coverslipper. This coverslipper is suitable for routine histology labs as well as labs that need to coverslip cytology samples and slides from the clinical pathology or veterinary labs. Using the same programming options as the IPI Pathoslide, the IPI Pathomat has special functions for cytology and histology samples, enabling it to coverslip cytology, veterinary, clinical laboratory and histology slides complete with error detection and user-friendly software. Customization within the software system allows the pathologist and technician access to greater control over the process, so that they can create the best solution for their lab procedures.
