Abstract
A grossing station for use in autopsy, necropsy, dissection, and laboratory work comprises a table and a hood connected to the table. The grossing station also comprises an integrated gas sensor system having at least one gas sensor, wherein the integrated gas sensor system is secured to a bottom surface of the hood. The integrated gas sensor system provides real time sampling and reporting of a predetermined noxious gas within a work area of the grossing station. The grossing station may also include a second gas sensor used in conjunction with the first gas sensor to allow for more accurate detection and reporting of over exposure events to a user of the grossing station.
