Latest Projects Casa Álvarez

Casa Álvarez Scientific Material founded in 1912

Casa Álvarez Material Científico contributes to the total automation of the Pathology Service of the new San Cecilio Universitary Hospital in Granada, the first in Spain.

Two automated instruments for slicing paraffin blocks and transfer it to slides AS-410M  manufactured by the Japanese company Dainippon Seiki and distributed exclusively in Spain by Casa Álvarez have installed in the new San Cecilio Universitary Hospital in Granada.

The installation of these two instruments, unique in the market, constitutes a great technological advance in Pathology laboratories, since it frees up the technicians from the routine work of slicing and transferring to slides, being able to spend that time on other duties; avoiding possible injuries and poor postural habits produced by continued manual slicing work on the microtomes. In addition, its main advantage is to ensure standardization of all samples with optimal slicing and transfer results and high reproducibility. Additionally, potential traceability errors are avoided by double checking of the samples.

All these functions lead to an increase in the productivity of the laboratory that ultimately leads to a decrease in the time of diagnosis. With the installation of these instruments, the automation of the Histology laboratory is totally fulled, thus becoming pioneers in Spain and one of the first in Europe, in achieving total automation from the processing of the samples to the diagnosis by digital pathology.

1 Neutraform (Formol neutralizing equipment)

Note that formaldehyde level detectors have been included in the grossing stations to alert if they exceed the exposure levels stipulated by INSHT.
This project has two new equipment in the market that minimize contact with formaldehyde:

Formadose that prepares and doses the formalin automatically so the user does not have to manipulate it.
And Neutraform that is a team that neutralizes and disposes of the residual formalin easily and safety.
Both devices maintain a clean, odor-free and safe environment for workers.
The whole installation has been done with a ventilation system in negative pressure with the outside and entrance of clean air. In this way, the room is free of toxic vapors and ensures a clean and safe atmosphere for the users.
Based on the measures, spaces available and the needs they presented, a totally customized project was carried out.
