Funding
The KUBTEC XPERT 80 was financially supported by the hospital. When we need equipment, we submit a minor capital request (>500K is major capital). I have found justifying the purchase is best coming from how it benefits the patient's TAT for treatment.
Why KUBTEC?
Feedback from Pathologists’ Assistants:
“I’ve used both (Faxitron and KUBTEC) and absolutely prefer the KUBTEC.”
“KUBTEC! Customer service with Hologic/Faxitron was less than ideal.”
“We have a KUBTEC and it has this amazing blending option that will take a pic of the specimen and overlay the radiograph to help make clip locations even easier to identify.”
