The Pathology Workstation QCT-1800 is a grossing bench configuration intended for pathology laboratories that need integrated ventilation, rinsing, lighting, and cleanable stainless work surfaces in one station. This listing is now aligned to the supplier's QCT-1800 model rather than a mixed multi-model attribute export.
The QCT-1800 configuration provides a 1695 x 430 mm working area inside an 1800 x 750 x 1950 mm station, 500-600 m3/h exhaust airflow, 304 stainless steel construction at the work surface, and the standard accessory set shown on the supplier page. Optional add-ons include gross imaging, a magnifying glass, a water heater, splash guard components, and an external exhaust fan.
Key Features
- Exact model alignment to QCT-1800
- 1695 x 430 mm working area with 850 mm work surface height
- 500-600 m3/h exhaust airflow for vapor control
- Built-in fan, UV lamp, spotlight, LED lighting, sink, and telescopic faucet
- 304 stainless steel main body and work table surfaces
How It Works
The pathology workstation operates through integrated ventilation and sterilization systems to maintain specimen integrity and operator safety. The exhaust system creates negative pressure across the work surface, drawing airborne contaminants away from the operator through activated carbon filtration. This continuous airflow prevents accumulation of chemical vapors from fixatives and processing reagents.
UV sterilization capability allows for surface decontamination between specimens or procedures. The 304 stainless steel work surface provides chemical resistance and easy decontamination, while the integrated lighting system ensures adequate illumination for detailed specimen examination and documentation.

| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Surface Material | 304 stainless steel with chemical resistance | Basic models may use epoxy resin or phenolic surfaces | Stainless steel provides superior chemical compatibility and easier decontamination for pathology applications |
| Ventilation Integration | Built-in exhaust fan with 500-600 m³/h airflow | Entry-level units often require separate ventilation connections | Integrated ventilation simplifies installation and ensures consistent airflow performance |
| Size Options | Three width configurations (1000mm, 1500mm, 1800mm) | Many competitors offer fixed sizing | Multiple size options accommodate different laboratory space constraints and workflow requirements |
| Lighting System | LED lighting plus dedicated spotlight | Basic units may have single overhead lighting | Dual lighting system provides both general illumination and focused task lighting for detailed specimen work |
| Sterilization Capability | Integrated UV lamp for surface sterilization | Standard workstations typically lack sterilization features | Built-in UV capability reduces cross-contamination risk between specimens without separate equipment |
| Filtration System | Activated carbon filter for vapor removal | Basic exhaust systems may lack chemical filtration | Activated carbon filtration reduces chemical exposure and improves exhaust air quality |
This pathology workstation distinguishes itself through integrated utilities including exhaust ventilation, UV sterilization, and dual lighting systems in a single stainless steel unit. The multiple size configurations and comprehensive accessory options provide flexibility for different laboratory layouts and workflow requirements.
Practical Tips
Measure airflow velocity at multiple points across the work surface monthly using a calibrated anemometer.
Why: Ensures consistent ventilation performance and identifies potential filter blockage or fan degradation early.
Replace activated carbon filter when airflow measurements drop below specification or chemical odors become noticeable.
Why: Maintains effective vapor control and prevents saturation that could release accumulated contaminants.
Allow UV lamp to warm up for 15 minutes before sterilization procedures and monitor lamp hours for replacement scheduling.
Why: UV output is temperature-dependent and lamp efficiency decreases with age, affecting sterilization effectiveness.
Verify exhaust airflow is active before beginning any procedure involving volatile chemicals or fixatives.
Why: Prevents accumulation of hazardous vapors that could exceed safe exposure limits.
If airflow seems reduced, check for blockages in the exhaust ductwork and ensure external ventilation system is operating properly.
Why: Airflow problems often originate downstream in the building ventilation system rather than the workstation itself.
Document UV exposure times and airflow measurements as part of quality assurance records for specimen processing.
Why: Provides traceability for processing conditions that may affect specimen quality or safety protocols.
Clean stainless steel surface with appropriate laboratory detergent after each use and inspect for damage or corrosion.
Why: Regular cleaning prevents chemical buildup and allows early detection of surface damage that could harbor contaminants.
Position frequently used tools and supplies within the work area to minimize reaching beyond the ventilated zone.
Why: Maintains operator safety by keeping hands and materials within the protective airflow envelope.

Background reading relevant to this product:
What is the minimum laboratory ceiling height required for installation?
With a total height of 1950mm, ensure minimum 2.5m ceiling height to accommodate the unit plus adequate clearance for ventilation ductwork connections.
Can the exhaust system connect directly to existing laboratory ventilation?
Yes, the built-in fan can integrate with existing lab ventilation systems, but verify that external system capacity can handle the 500-600 m³/h airflow requirement.
What is the recommended UV exposure time for surface sterilization?
UV exposure protocols depend on target organisms and surface conditions. Consult product datasheet for specific lamp specifications and establish validation procedures for your application.
How frequently should the activated carbon filter be replaced?
Filter replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and types of chemicals handled. Monitor airflow performance and establish replacement schedule based on your laboratory's chemical exposure profile.
Is the work surface compatible with standard laboratory disinfectants?
The 304 stainless steel surface is compatible with most laboratory disinfectants including alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds, and dilute bleach solutions.
Can additional accessories be retrofitted after installation?
Optional accessories including water heater, pulverizer, eye washer, and magnetic tools can be added. Consult installation manual for compatibility and mounting requirements.
What are the water quality requirements for the telescopic faucet?
Standard laboratory water quality is acceptable. Consider filtration if local water contains high mineral content that could affect faucet operation or specimen processing.
