This user day brings laboratory professionals together to share real world experiences with automation in histology, focusing on what works in everyday practice.

We will discuss how automation supports consistent workflows.

Participants will exchange lessons learned, compare best practices, and explore opportunities to fine tune existing workflows.

The aim is to create an open forum where users can learn from each other and continue improving the quality of their automated processes.
