Solutions
Never lose a sample again
Tissue sample management solutions Fina, Crystal, Hydra, Iris, and Ewa
The Dreampath portfolio helps laboratories protect patients by providing solutions that track and monitor samples in the laboratory workflow.
Fully automated block traceability and archiving
The Fina system is a new and innovative approach to storing and retrieving tissue blocks. It delivers improved workflow in the anatomic pathology lab, precision retrieval of tissue blocks to accelerate case turnaround time, and improved patient safety.
Watch videoSAFETY
Eliminates the risk of misplaced or lost samples. Facilitates chain-of-custody and traceability for tissue blocks
SPEED
Reduces time and labor associated with manually sorting, filing and retrieving tissue blocks. Reduces wasted time associated with searching for missing blocks
WORKFLOW
Advances lean workflow in the AP lab by reducing touch points and wait points associated with block archival and retrieval. Enables reallocation of lab resources towards more value-added activities
Customer profile
Patient safety is very important to me and being at a large institution and the type of cases we get, we are constantly going back to our blocks, whether it be for additional testing or research for a clinical trial, and being able to locate them in a timely manner and track them is the most important thing for me. In just minutes, the Fina system scans hundreds of blocks and records their exact location -from the position in the tray to the final storage point (zone) in a laboratory’s on or offsite archive.

Customer profile
Before adopting the Dreampath systems, we were spending over 20,000 hours per year managing blocks and slides. With Fina and Crystal we saved over 15,000 hours per year. That allowed us to redeploy seven FTEs toward more valuable activities.

Preprocessing traceability for all tissue samples
The Hydra system improves patient safety and workflow in the anatomic pathology lab by advancing sample chain-of-custody. Hydra works with any size/shape tissue processor basket, making it a universal solution.
Watch videoSAFETY
Mitigates the risk of misplaced samples, pre and post processing. Protects lab staff through active ventilation and filtration of formalin fumes. Facilitates chain-of-custody and traceability throughout the AP lab; communicates with Fina for sample reconciliation.
SPEED
Saves time by reading cassette barcodes in batches (<3 seconds) rather than individually scanning each cassette. Eliminates wasted time with manually counting cassettes.
WORKFLOW
Accommodates all tissue processor basket shapes and sizes to fit any lab workflow. Provides insights and intelligence to improve lab workflow

Fully automated slide tracking and transfer solution
Iris is an innovative solution for tracking and transferring slides from the lab to pathologists or other locations. It enables batch scanning of slide folders, giving you complete visibility of your slide inventory before transfer. With Iris, you can access detailed records of where each slide has been sent and when it is expected to return to the lab for archiving.
Watch videoFast batch scanning
Process slides in seconds. Compatible with both 20 and 30-slide folders.
Clear workflow tracking
Know who sent what, where, and when it’s due back. Tracks slides by requestor, recipient, and due-back dates.
Fully Connected
Supports transfers across multiple lab sites, ideal for networks. Connects with your LIS and Crystal to ensure all slides have made it to archival.
