A Breakthrough in Tissue Block Management

The Thermo Scientific™ Syntri™ Arcos™ Block Management System is designed to minimize errors, increase productivity and keep your laboratory’s resources focused on successful patient outcomes. This system allows you to achieve a lean workflow by automating your block archiving.

Features and Benefits

• Lost blocks are a thing of the past. The Arcos system maintains a complete record of all blocks in storage that can be easily accessed and searched at any time.
• The Arcos system eliminates errors endemic to the hand-sorting process. After checkout, blocks can be returned to any tray. When scanned, the database is automatically updated.
• Retain your database’s security with redundant protection. Your database is automatically updated on Flash storage within the Arcos scanner. Control individual user database access and modification permissions.
• No more time-consuming manual sorting. The Arcos system will scan, photograph and record the position of every block in the tray in about two minutes. Scan hundreds of blocks at once.
• Find tissue blocks quickly and easily. Select the block you’re after and the Arcos system will tell you where the tray is located in your archive, and the exact position of the block within the tray.
• Keep your laboratory’s resources focused on what matters most. The Arcos system has been shown to save thousands of man-hours per year in busy laboratories – up to one-and-a-half full-time employees. The system’s speed and efficiency allow you to keep your laboratory’s resources focused on positive patient outcomes.
