Temperature probes in anatomical pathology machines

Anatomical pathology - the study of diseases through the examination of organs, tissues and cells - relies on specialised laboratory equipment such as cryostats, slide stainers and digital pathology machines. Within these machines, temperature probes play a crucial role in ensuring the accurate processing and preservation of tissue samples, which are essential for diagnosing cancer, infectious and autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders and genetic mutations.

Why temperature monitoring is essential

Temperature monitoring is critical in anatomical pathology machines as tissue integrity, staining accuracy and diagnostic reliability depend on maintaining precise temperature conditions. Any deviation can lead to sample degradation, poor staining or incorrect diagnosis. For example:

• In tissue processors, temperature probes monitor the paraffin bath temperature to ensure proper tissue infiltration. Overheating can cause shrinkage or hardening, compromising the quality of the sample.
• Cryostats incorporate temperature probes to maintain optimal freezing conditions, preventing poor sectioning quality or tissue degradation.
• Some digital pathology systems use cooling mechanisms for fluorescent slide scanning.  Temperature probes ensure that sample slides remain at stable temperatures during extended imaging sessions, allowing for greater imaging accuracy and analysis.

Eurosensor temperature probes

Our temperature probes offer:

• Precise measurement: Ensuring that sample temperatures remain within an exact range, preventing cellular degradation or unwanted biochemical reactions.

• Real-time monitoring: Providing continuous temperature data to diagnostic machines, allowing for immediate adjustments in case of fluctuations.
• High reliability and durability: Designed for consistent performance in laboratory and clinical settings, minimising the risk of errors caused by temperature instability.
• Integration with advanced diagnostic equipment: Eurosensor temperature probes are embedded cutting-edge diagnostic machines, facilitating next-generation research and personalised medicine.

Technological advancements are redefining anatomical pathology, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Our high-precision temperature probes are integral to these diagnostic machines, continuously monitoring and regulating sample temperatures to maintain optimal conditions. Their role is indispensable in ensuring that patient samples remain in a controlled environment, enabling clinicians to make data-driven treatment decisions with confidence.
