Shandon HyperClean 1 Grossing station

• Pathology laboratories for human tissue dissection and examination.
• Veterinary pathology for animal specimen preparation.
• Research facilities handling biological samples requiring containment.
• Forensic laboratories for post-mortem examinations and evidence processing.

Typical footprint

Units of this type commonly feature a compact design suitable for laboratory benches, typically around 100-150 cm in width.

Ventilation system

Typically incorporates a downdraft or backdraft ventilation system to protect operators from hazardous fumes.

Material construction

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for ease of cleaning, durability, and resistance to corrosive reagents.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a standard single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz in the UK) is typically required.

Filtration

Often includes activated carbon filters for fume removal, and sometimes HEPA filters for particulate matter.

Ergonomics

Many models feature adjustable work surfaces or integrated lighting to improve user comfort and visibility during dissection.

• What is a grossing station used for?

  A grossing station provides a safe and ventilated environment for the macroscopic examination, dissection, and sampling of biological specimens, primarily in pathology.

• How does the ventilation system work?

• What maintenance is required for a grossing station?

• Are these units supplied with plumbing connections?

• What safety features should I look for?

Grossing stations are valued in pathology and biotech labs for their role in specimen preparation. Buyers typically appreciate robust construction and good workspace organisation, which supports efficient sample handling. When purchasing used equipment, buyers should prioritise examining work surface condition, lighting functionality, and ventilation systems, as these directly affect performance and staff safety. The equipment generally maintains strong utility in facilities with high specimen throughput. Reliable operation and straightforward maintenance are common strengths cited by laboratory professionals.
