Embedding cassette, embedding mold and embedding assembly for biopsy

Abstract

The present invention relates to an embedding cassette for a biopsy, and the embedding cassette for forming, in an embedding mold, a space capable of accommodating tissue therein when the embedding cassette is coupled to the embedding mold and for embedding the tissue accommodated in the embedding mold in a state where the embedding cassette is coupled to the embedding mold, comprises: a body having a space which is connected to the accommodation space of the coupled embedding mold and in which an injected paraffin solution can be solidified when carrying out embedding work; and at least one paraffin partition groove formed on the edge of the lower surface of the body, wherein when the embedding work is carried out by being coupled to the embedding mold, the injected paraffin solution forms a partition by flowing into the at least one paraffin partition groove, thereby preventing the paraffin solution from flowing out through the embedding mold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the embedding molds and cassettes required during the process of manufacturing the paraffin tissue blocks necessary to perform biopsies, and more particularly to the embedding molds and cassettes required when : In order to perform a biopsy, pretreatment of tissues fixed to various fixatives (dehydration of fixed tissues, transparency of fixed tissues, and infiltration of paraffin into fixed tissues) is performed by 1) a tissue processing (Tissue preces) process, by 2) Paraffin embedding (Paraffine Eneding) of tissue that has undergone the tissue processing process to make paraffin tissue blocks, 3) Use an ultra-thin microtome (slicing device) to slice the paraffin tissue blocks into sections of appropriate thickness , and this section slide was subjected to immunostaining, general staining, special staining, etc. by various staining process protocols and then observed with the naked eye using an optical microscope.

Problems solved by technology

[0022] As another method, automated equipment for paraffin removal is used, but it has the disadvantage that the user needs to insert the cassette (10) with solidified paraffin on the side surface directly into said automated equipment to remove the paraffin , and thus takes a long time and said automated equipment for removing paraffin is expensive

[0023] As yet another method, the operator removes the solidified paraffin using a tool such as a knife, and in this case, it takes 5 to 7 seconds per cassette and the operator is at risk
