Embodiment Construction

[0029] 1 and 2 generally illustrate an assembly 10 that includes a tissue sample cassette 12 carried within a frame 14 . The connection between tissue cassette 12 and frame 14 can be accomplished in a number of ways, such as any of those described in the aforementioned incorporated patents and patent applications. It will also be appreciated that cassette 12 may be configured in any suitable manner, just as tissue carrier and frame 14 may be configured in any suitable manner. Any of the configurations, features, characteristics, and materials disclosed in the aforementioned incorporated patents and patent applications for tissue carriers (eg, cassettes) and frames can be used for cassettes 12 and frames 14 . In the illustrated embodiment, the cassette 12 is porous and is detachably secured within a frame 14 which is further configured to be detachably secured to a microtome chuck (not shown). The frame 14 generally includes an interior space defined between peripheral outer w...

Abstract

A histologic tissue sample support device includes a tissue support (12) formed of material that can be successfully sectioned in a microtome and is resistant to degradation from solvents and chemicals used to fix, process and stain tissue (40). A resilient cellular material (20) is coupled to the tissue support (12) and is configured to engage and retain tissue (40) in place during processing and embedding. The resilient cellular material (20) is also capable of successful sectioning in the microtome and porous to allow infiltration of the solvents and chemicals used to fix, process and stain tissue, and of embedding material (50) used to embed the tissue (40) while the tissue (40) is retained by the resilient cellular material (20).

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 869,629 (pending), filed December 12, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to carriers for processing and embedding tissue samples for pathological analysis, and more particularly to sectionable carriers capable of receiving and co-embedding and embedding one or more tissue samples Then sliced. Background technique [0003] To accurately diagnose different tissue diseases and conditions, medical professionals must remove one or more tissue samples from a patient's body. This process of obtaining tissue from the body is called a biopsy (biopsy). Once a tissue sample has been excised and sent to a pathology laboratory, the tissue is subjected to a series of procedures by a tissue technician and finally by a pathologist in order to diagnose one or more conditions associated wit...
