Grossing Stations

About

Grossing stations — downdraft & backdraft, ventilated workstations American Mortuary Coolers manufactures grossing stations for surgical pathology, histology, and forensic laboratories. Every grossing station is fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel with integrated ventilation, sink, and work surface sized for specimen accessioning and tissue dissection. We are a U.S. manufacturer selling factory-direct, not a distributor reselling another brand. Stations are configured as downdraft or backdraft to control formalin vapor at the bench, with hot/cold fixtures, hydro-aspirator vacuum, cutting boards, magnifying lamps, and dictation or imaging integration available depending on configuration.

Construction & standards Grossing stations are welded from heavy-gauge 304 or 316 stainless steel with seamless welds and rounded edges for fast disinfection and chemical resistance. Ventilation is engineered to control formaldehyde at the source, supporting OSHA formaldehyde exposure requirements; final compliance depends on room air handling. Hands-free controls, eyewash, and ADA-height options are available.
