Precision Diagnostics for Definitive Clinical DecisionsHistopathology
Definitive tissue-based diagnosis built around specimen quality, morphology, ancillary testing and qualified pathologist interpretation.
What is histopathology?
Histopathology examines tissue architecture and cellular morphology to characterize disease. It is central to the diagnosis and classification of many tumours and other tissue-based conditions.
PATHOSURE® provides a structured workflow from specimen receipt and processing through H&E sections, microscopy, ancillary testing where indicated and reporting.
Specimens and indications
- Small biopsies
- Core biopsies
- Excision specimens
- Surgical/resection specimens
- Selected tissue specimens for IHC
- Specimens requiring further diagnostic work-up
Laboratory workflow
Accessioning → gross examination → tissue processing → paraffin embedding → microtomy → H&E staining → slide review → ancillary testing where indicated → pathologist interpretation → report.
Traceability and specimen identification are maintained throughout the laboratory pathway.
What protects diagnostic quality?
Appropriate fixation, complete clinical information, specimen identification, adequate tissue and clear communication of the clinical question all contribute to a reliable diagnostic pathway.
When IHC is needed
Some cases require additional immunophenotypic evidence after morphology. PATHOSURE® organizes IHC around disease-based panels and diagnostic questions rather than treating markers as isolated tests.

Routine histopathology turnaround depends on specimen complexity and workflow. The applicable expected turnaround is communicated at referral/accessioning.
Experienced Pathologists
Specialist interpretation and reporting are supported by experienced pathologists within the PATHOSURE® diagnostic workflow.
