Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1 and figure 2 The shown plant 1 comprises a processing station 2, for example a stationary station.

[0050] The processing station 2 serves to process tissue samples, not shown, which are attached to a sample holding structure 4 . To this end, the processing station 2 comprises a reagent container 20 in which a liquid reagent 21 , such as formalin, is contained. A liquid reagent 21 for treating the tissue sample is brought into contact with the tissue sample. Of course, alternatively the processing station 2 can be a dehydration station and / or an infiltration station and / or an embedding station and / or a dyeing station and / or a purification station.

[0051] The sample holding structure 4 comprises a support frame 40 supporting various cassettes 41 in which at least one tissue sample to be processed is arranged. The cassettes 41 are arranged in a matrix at the support frame 40 or at least partially within the support frame 40 . During the processing of the...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for treatment of histological samples. The apparatus includes at least a working station, in which the sample gets into contact with a liquid reagent. Further, the apparatus includes a purification device, which blows off at least a part of the reagent adhering to the sample and / or the sample holding arrangement by means of a gas flow, or which sucks off at least a part of the reagent adhering to the sample and / or a sample holding arrangement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for processing tissue samples according to the preamble of claim 1 . [0002] The invention also relates to methods of processing tissue samples. Background technique [0003] In most cases, the goal of processing with multiple stations is to bring the sample taken from the patient into a condition that allows it to be sliced ​​by a microtome. For example, sectioning is made possible by the introduction (infiltration) of media that mechanically stabilize the tissue during subsequent processing steps. Alternatively, tissue can also be frozen. [0004] Various stations for processing tissue samples are known from the prior art. For example, cutting stations, fixing stations, dehydrating stations, decontamination stations, infiltration stations, embedding stations or stations of the microtome (cutting station) type in various executions are known, for example. [0005] In the cutting station, tissue, eg taken from a p...
