SolutionPathology Lab Equipment List
A ready reference list of the equipment a histopathology / pathology laboratory needs, what each instrument does in the workflow, and the consumables that keep it running — useful for planning, budgeting and tender specifications.
Core histopathology equipment
- Automatic / carousel tissue processor — dehydration, clearing & paraffin infiltration
- Tissue embedding station — heated reservoir, cold plate & holding tank
- Rotary microtome — section cutting (paired with the floatation bath)
- Digital tissue floatation bath — flatten & pick up ribbons
- Slide warming table — dry & adhere sections
- Automatic / linear slide staining machine — reproducible H&E and special stains
- Cryostat microtome — rapid frozen sections for intra-operative work
- Consumables — cassettes, blades, slides, coverslips, reagents (consumables & kits)
How to use this list for a tender
For government tenders, specify each instrument by function and key parameters (e.g. tissue processor cassette capacity, reagent management, paraffin baths) rather than a single brand. We help you draft compliant, competition-neutral specifications — tender support →
Common questions
What is the basic equipment list for a histopathology lab?
