I can't recommend any specific brand - it's rare to see a grossing station in the small pathology services I work in - but if I were buying one I'd want:
1. First and foremost, adequate ventilation - a louvered vent at hand level that pulls the formaldehyde fumes away from your hands as you work. No overhead kitchen hoods. 2. I think the words "ergonomic" and "pathologist' aren't supposed to be used in the same sentence, but it's awfully nice to have the table rack up and down for pathologists of varying heights. If that isn't possible, at least some sort of elevated table. 3. Most grossing stations are inadequately lighted, at least for my elderly eyes. 4. I don't like to gross with water running over the table and spraying potentially infectious aerosols up into my face.
