Embedding box residual wax cleaning device and method

Abstract

The invention relates to an embedding box residual wax cleaning device and method. The device comprises a supporting plate on which an embedding box is placed during wax removal and a dewaxing assembly which is located on the supporting plate, and when it is detected that the embedding box is placed on the supporting plate, the dewaxing assembly gets close to the embedding box and removes residual wax on the edge of the embedding box. Whether the embedding box is placed on the supporting plate or not is detected through the dewaxing assembly, and when it is detected that the embedding box is placed on the supporting plate, the dewaxing assembly gets close to the embedding box, and the residual wax on the edge of the embedding box is removed. By means of the automatic dewaxing step, manpower can be effectively saved, and people cannot be accidentally injured. Meanwhile, through real-time detection and cleaning, the cleaning efficiency can be effectively improved, and the film production process is not affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical aids, in particular to a device and method for cleaning residual wax in an embedding box. Background technique [0002] In the pathological analysis of tissues, it is often necessary to read the patient's resected tissue after embedding and sectioning to judge whether the tissue is benign or malignant, and paraffin embedding is an important process before the examination of human, animal and plant biological tissue sections. During paraffin embedding of pathological tissue, paraffin is first used to infiltrate the inside of the tissue block to play a supporting role, and then the entire tissue block is fixed in paraffin using the embedding cassette as a support. However, during the embedding process, there will be excess paraffin attached to the edge of the box body of the embedding box. When the embedding box is fixed with a microtome for sectioning, the excess paraffin around the box body will be deformed...

Problems solved by technology

However, during the embedding process, there will be excess paraffin attached to the edge of the box body of the embedding box. When the embedding box is fixed with a microtome for sectioning, the excess paraffin around the box body will be deformed due to extrusion, resulting in the embedding box being in the The positioning on the slicer is not accurate, resulting in low slice quality and affecting the slice effect

In the prior art, cleaning the residual wax is generally done by manually smoothing the residual wax around the embedding box with a wax shovel or a blade, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easy to damage hands.
