A patient’s biopsy or other tissue sample passes through many hands on its way from the patient to the diagnosis. In many cases, the physician and nurses with the patient pass the tissue along to those who prepare it for transport to the laboratory. The transporter delivers it to the specimen processing area, where lab techs check it in and ensure all the details are correct and the specimen meets criteria for testing.
