Bekasi, February 24, 2026 — PT. Sentral Lab Genetik, in collaboration with Padjadjaran University Hospital, successfully hosted a Digital Pathology Webinar and Workshop aimed at introducing the end-to-end digital pathology workflow, from tissue preparation to slide digitalization using slide scanner technology developed by Motic.
The online event, conducted via Zoom Meeting, brought together participants from hospitals, laboratories, and academic institutions interested in exploring the growing role of digital technologies in pathology.
The first session was delivered by Okky Husain, MD, Sp.PA, with a presentation titled “Integration from Tissue to Digital Pathology with Histomorphometrical Analysis.” During his session, he explained the workflow of tissue preparation in pathology laboratories, starting from fixation, grossing, tissue processing, embedding, and staining. He emphasized that each step requires appropriate techniques, correct procedures, and proper reagent concentrations to produce high-quality histological slides. Proper tissue preparation is essential to ensure that the tissue structures can be clearly observed and accurately interpreted during microscopic examination.
Dr. Okky also discussed the role of digital image analysis in modern pathology. These technologies can serve as important tools to assist pathologists in analyzing slide images more efficiently and consistently, facilitating more objective evaluation and improved workflow in digital pathology.
The second session was presented by Ms. Wendy Ting, Product Specialist from Motic, who introduced digital slide scanner technology designed to support modern pathology laboratories. She explained how slide scanners convert conventional glass slides into high-resolution digital images using whole slide imaging (WSI) technology. This approach enables laboratories to scan multiple slides automatically in a single workflow, significantly improving efficiency and data accessibility. In addition, digital slide scanning systems are supported by specialized software that allows users to manage, analyze, share, and archive digital pathology images within an integrated digital environment.
Following the presentation sessions, participants were invited to observe a live demonstration workshop showcasing the EasyScan Two digital slide scanner from Motic. The session was conducted by Upit Rahayu, S.T., Application Specialist at PT. Sentral Lab Genetik. During the demonstration, participants were introduced to the workflow of digitizing histopathology slides using whole slide imaging technology. The session covered essential steps such as loading slides into the scanner, performing automated scanning, and accessing the digital images through integrated viewing software. By converting conventional glass slides into digital formats, laboratories can improve documentation, simplify data sharing between medical professionals, and enable more efficient diagnostic collaboration compared to traditional microscope-based observation.
Supporting the Future of Digital Pathology in Indonesia
The webinar and workshop reflect PT. Sentral Lab Genetik’s commitment to supporting the advancement of digital pathology in Indonesia. By collaborating with healthcare institutions and technology partners such as Motic, the company aims to encourage the adoption of digital pathology solutions that improve efficiency, accessibility, and collaboration in modern laboratory environments.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to Universitas Padjadjaran Hospital for their support in hosting this event. Our gratitude also goes to all the speakers who shared their valuable insights, as well as to all participants who attended and actively contributed to the discussions. Their engagement and enthusiasm played an important role in making the event meaningful and successful.
