LigoLab’s Grossing Workstation Window
September 11, 2025
The Grossing Workstation Window is a powerful pathology lab software tool embedded within LigoLab’s Medical LIS & Lab RCM Informatics Platform, which enables grossing technicians to interact at a per-specimen level with a case.
We’ll showcase this valuable laboratory information system (LIS software) feature here and now. First, we’ll start with a tutorial video so you can see how it works. Then we’ll review why this laboratory workflow management optimization tool is necessary for any high-volume anatomic pathology practice.
In our tutorial video, you’ll see the following:
- How the Grossing Window and its numeric touchpad launch within the LigoLab’s laboratory information system software application.
- How a barcode scan brings up the bottle container and case information (patient name, accession/result ID, site, and specimen received).
- How this modern medical LIS software solution links the Gross Description Template Dropdown Menu to the selected site.
- How voice-to-text pathology dictation software and a stylus or gloved finger can fulfill the necessary components of the gross description.
- How LigoLab supports the Grossing Description field with programmed voice-to-text commands, abbreviations, and macros.

Laboratory Information System Software Technology and the Grossing Processes
LigoLab’s Grossing Station Window is valuable for grossing techs because it integrates the latest lab information system technology and workflow optimization tools to streamline pathology grossing processes. Here are several key reasons why it's so effective as an atomic pathology software feature:
Customizable Workflow Tools: The Grossing Station Window enables laboratories to tailor anatomic pathology LIS workflows based on their specific protocols, ensuring that grossing techs can work efficiently and accurately. Customization ensures that tasks align perfectly with laboratory needs.
Real-Time Data Integration: The grossing solution connects directly with LigoLab’s LIS pathology module, providing real-time access to case data, patient history, and specimen details. This minimizes errors and reduces the need for manual data entry.
Integrated Barcode Scanning: The Grossing Station ensures accurate specimen tracking with built-in barcode scanning support. This feature enables grossing techs to verify specimen identity and maintain chain-of-custody documentation.
Voice Dictation and Text Input: Grossing techs can use voice dictation to efficiently document specimen descriptions, reducing manual typing and saving time while maintaining high accuracy.
Quality Assurance Features: The Grossing Station features built-in quality checks, ensuring all required steps are completed before a case moves further. This reduces errors and the need for rework.
Seamless Collaboration with Pathologists: The LIS system application enables grossing techs to communicate directly with pathologists via the laboratory information platform, providing immediate access to guidance or approvals when needed.
Enhanced Reporting and Metrics: Grossing techs can track productivity and receive feedback from integrated laboratory information system analytics. This data enhances pathology lab management by adding transparency to workflow efficiency.
User-Friendly Interface: The Grossing Station interface is designed to be intuitive, minimizing clicks and the learning curve for new users and reducing frustration for experienced techs.
Thanks to this list of features, the LigoLab Grossing Station Window helps grossing techs work faster, more accurately, and with fewer errors, ultimately improving the overall efficiency and quality of the pathology process.
