Rokitansky

How it works

One workflow. Four steps. Zero manual transfer.

Every specimen follows the same verified sequence, start to finish — the same sequence you'll see live on the Rokitansky's own operator console.

01 — SCAN

Scan

The patient label and lab accession label are both scanned before anything opens — catching mismatches before they become errors.

02 — VERIFY

Verify

A machine vision camera photographs the cassette and its contents, cross-checking against the scanned barcode to confirm nothing was missed.

03 — ETCH

Etch

A UV laser permanently marks patient information directly onto the cassette — no handwriting, no smudged labels, no ambiguity.

04 — GROSS

Gross

An AI-assisted gross description is generated from the specimen image and queued for review — every description requires pathologist sign-off.

Ranvier Collection Device

The transfer step, eliminated.

The RCD is a container and cassette in one — the specimen goes straight in at the point of care, no transfer required. Close the lid, and the cassette submerges into a formalin reservoir that mimics processor conditions for improved fixation.

No lost tissue during specimen transfer
No mutilation or fragmentation in transit
No tissue ending up in the wrong cassette
No fatty tissue floating and fixing poorly

Pilot announcement

Allīne Laboratory has partnered with N:C Ratio for early pilot testing

We're proud to announce that Allīne Laboratory in Tampa, FL has partnered with N:C Ratio to host early, non-clinical pilot testing of the Rokitansky Grossing System, our automated approach to small biopsy grossing.

Small biopsy grossing still depends on moving tiny fragments by hand from container to cassette, hundreds of times a day. We built the Rokitansky to remove that step. With our Ranvier Collection Device, the biopsy goes straight into a cassette at the point of collection. The instrument then verifies labels, engraves the cassette, images the contents, and stages it for processing.

Allīne's team will get early hands-on experience with the system and a direct voice in how it is designed. Building alongside the people who do this work every day is how we intend to get it right.

More to come.

Non-clinical pilot. Mock specimens only, no patient samples. The Rokitansky Grossing System is investigational, not cleared or approved by the FDA, and not available for sale.
