GROSSING STATION Requirement Summary VA White River Junction, VT. requires replacement of a grossing station for histology. An elevating grossing station with additional knee space is required for ergonomic and staff safety as the table can be adjusted to accommodate varying heights of pathology staff to reduce back strain. Grossing stations provide a workspace for specimen preparation and are used to measure, wash, dissect, and magnify the view of the specimen while dictating notes and filtering fumes. Gross examination or "grossing" is the process by which pathology specimens are inspected with the "bare eye" to obtain diagnostic information, while being processed for further microscopic examination.
