The brief

Cellular Pathology laboratories in the North East North Cumbria (NENC) region currently maintain long term (30+ years) archives of all wax tissue blocks and microscope slides that are produced.

The North East & North Cumbria Pathology network (NENC) has obtained limited Digital Diagnostics Capability funding from NHS England for purchase of an “advanced archiving solution” that will both save time for laboratory staff and dramatically reduce the risk of misfiling and loss of tissue blocks and slides.

Any proposed archiving solution must be compatible with the current and legacy linear and/or data matrix barcodes on blocks and slides for identification of the materials
