Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pathological slide technology, and in particular to a slide preparation table and a one-stop slide preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, medical personnel sometimes need to obtain biological tissues such as tumors, polyps, and cells from organisms as tissue samples. These samples are then sectioned using a microtome before undergoing pathological analysis to aid in disease diagnosis and academic research. For example, using a cryostat, after obtaining tissue samples from the pathology sampling room, medical personnel can pre-preserve them in an embedding cassette. The cassette is then placed on the cryostat, and the tissue sample is removed and placed in a sample holder. Cryo-embedding medium is added to the sample holder to completely cover the tissue sample. After the sample holder is completely frozen, the cryo-embedded tissue sample can be sectioned using a blade. The sectioned tissue slices are then mounted on corresponding blank slides, ultimately outputting a slide containing the tissue sections.

[0003] In pathological analysis, multiple tissue samples may often be taken from the organism, and / or, to improve analytical efficiency, tissue samples from multiple organisms need to be sectioned on the same microtome. This requires the use of multiple embedding cassette samples, blank slides, bottled embedding medium, spare blades, and other items before and after the frozen sectioning process. The inventors found in practice that operators typically place these items haphazardly on the frozen sectioner's worktable, leading to frequent searches, reduced work efficiency, and hindering the orderly execution of the work.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. For example, terms such as “length,” “width,” “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” “front,” “rear,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer” indicate orientations or positions based on the orientations or positions shown in the accompanying drawings and are merely for ease of description and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0062] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. "A plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0063] In the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model, when an element is referred to as "fixed to," "mounted to," "set on," or "connected to" another element, it can be directly or indirectly located on that other element. For example, when an element is referred to as "connected to" another element, it can be directly or indirectly connected to that other element.

[0064] Furthermore, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0065] This utility model embodiment provides a slide preparation table 200, which can be applied to a pathology microtome for classifying and placing various items used before and after the slide preparation process. Of course, the slide preparation table 200 is not limited to use in a pathology microtome, and the specific application scenario is not particularly limited here.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the slide preparation table 200 includes a platform 1, which can be placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. Understandably, when purchasing the cryostat 100, the user can directly configure the corresponding slide preparation table 200. For example, during transportation or when the cryostat 100 is not in operation, the slide preparation table 200 can be packaged separately, allowing it to be placed in a different location from the cryostat 100. When the cryostat 100 needs to be used, the operator can then place the slide preparation table 200 on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. This is very simple and convenient, maximizing the effective use of the space on the upper surface of the cryostat 100 based on its own characteristics, ensuring the standardized use of space and environment in the pathology department.

[0067] It should be noted that in practical applications, the slicing stage 200 is not limited to cryostat 100, but can also be used in other types of slicing machines, as long as the upper stage of the slicing machine has enough space for the slicing stage 200 to be placed.

[0068] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the storage table 1 has a storage surface 11, which is divided into storage areas. These storage areas can be used to store at least one of the following: embedding cassette 500, glass slide, blade 700, and embedding agent bottle 600. This allows specific items, such as at least one of the embedding cassette 500, glass slide, blade 700, and embedding agent bottle 600, to be placed in their corresponding storage areas, instead of mixing all items together. Therefore, by dividing the storage areas, the operator's convenience and work efficiency are greatly improved; when an item is needed, it can be directly retrieved from the corresponding storage area.

[0069] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the slicing stage 200 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0070] The slide preparation table 200 is divided into storage areas on the storage surface 11 of the stage 1 for storing at least one of the following: embedding cassette 500, glass slides, blades 700, and embedding medium. These items can be quickly and directly accessed and stored before and after the slide preparation process, avoiding mixing with other items and eliminating the need to search through cluttered piles. This significantly improves operator efficiency and ease of use. Furthermore, when the cryostat 100 is needed, the slide preparation table 200 can be placed directly on its upper surface. When not in use, it can be removed from the cryostat 100, effectively utilizing its surface space and ensuring the orderly and standardized use of space and environment in the pathology department.

[0071] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slicing stage 200 also includes a support 2, which is disposed on the placement surface 11 of the stage 1. The support 2 is used to mount a display 3 that works in conjunction with the main unit of the cryostat 100. For example, the display 3 can be wirelessly or wiredly connected to the main unit of the cryostat 100 via a network signal. The operator can adjust various operating parameters through the main display screen 110 on the cryostat 100. The display 3 mounted on the slicing stage 200 can be used to display information such as the internal temperature of the cryostat 100, the sample tray temperature, the start temperature of slicing, the end temperature of slicing, operator information, and patient pathology information, so that hospitals and other institutions can trace various information during slicing processing and the reasons for different processing results.

[0073] And / or, in some embodiments, the bracket 2 can be used to allow the operator to adjust the orientation of the monitor 3. Understandably, the bracket 2 can be used not only to mount the monitor 3, but also to adjust the mounting direction and position of the monitor 3. For example, due to space limitations in pathology departments, to facilitate operator operation, the bracket 2 can be configured as a highly flexible bracket. For instance, by adjusting the bracket 2, the monitor 3 can be moved forward, backward, left, right, up, and down, as well as rotated 360 degrees, allowing the operator to adjust the monitor 3 spatially according to their own usage habits and height, ensuring that the monitor 3 is always in a position convenient for the operator to operate and observe.

[0074] It should be noted that the structure of the adjustable monitor 3 position bracket 2 described here can adopt existing or newly created bracket 2 structures, which will not be elaborated here, as long as they have the corresponding position adjustment function.

[0075] And / or, in some embodiments, the support 2 is located on the periphery of the storage area to facilitate operator observation and operation, and to reduce the probability of collision between the operator and the support 2 and / or the display 3 when picking up or placing the embedding cassette 500, slide, blade 700, or embedding agent bottle 600. Exemplarily, the support 2 may be located on the side of the storage surface 11 closest to the operator's left hand.

[0076] And / or, in some embodiments, the bracket 2 is detachable from the platform 1. This allows the bracket 2 to be directly removed from the platform 1 when the display screen is not needed, facilitating the multi-scenario application of the slicing platform 200. Additionally, when transportation or storage is required, the bracket 2 can also be directly removed from the platform 1 to reduce the space occupied by the slicing platform 200 and facilitate storage.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are at least two storage areas, one of which is defined as the first storage area 111, and the other as the second storage area 112. The first storage area 111 is used for placing embedding cassettes 500, and the second storage area 112 is used for placing items other than embedding cassettes 500. By dividing the storage areas into first storage area 111 and second storage area 112, items of the same category can be placed in corresponding areas, or items of a target category can be separated from other items. This improves the cluttered state of items on the upper surface of the cryo-slicer 100, making it easier for the operator to quickly find the target items, thereby further improving space utilization and work efficiency.

[0078] For example, in Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, embedding cassettes 500 can be placed in the first storage area 111, and embedding agents can be placed in the second storage area 112. For example, multiple embedding cassettes 500 containing tissue samples can be arranged side by side in the first storage area 111. During the slicing process of the cryostat 100, the operator can take out the embedding cassettes 500 in the first storage area 111 in sequence to remove the tissue samples from the embedding cassettes 500 for freezing, etc. Empty embedding cassettes 500 with removed tissue samples can also be placed in the first storage area 111 in sequence. Obviously, this facilitates the operator to complete the transfer of tissue samples and the removal and placement of embedding cassettes 500 in an orderly manner, which is conducive to standardized operation and management and improves work efficiency.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, such as in embodiment two, as... Figure 2 As shown, the first storage area 111 can also be used to place other items, such as clean glass slides, blades 700, etc., and the second storage area 112 can be used to place the embedding agent bottle 600. Also, for example, in Embodiment 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first storage area 111 can also be used to place other items, such as the blade 700, and the second storage area 112 can be used to place the embedding agent bottle 600.

[0080] And / or, in some embodiments, the first storage area 111 is located on the storage surface 11 in the area closest to the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100. On the one hand, this makes it easier for the operator to conveniently retrieve and place the corresponding items placed in the first storage area 111; on the other hand, if the items most frequently used in the operation of the cryostat 100 are placed in the first storage area 111, and the first storage area 111 is located in the area closest to the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100, it can help improve work efficiency.

[0081] For example, in embodiment one, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple embedding cassettes 500 are placed side by side in the first storage area 111. Because the operation involves the retrieval of multiple tissue samples and the placement of multiple empty embedding cassettes 500 after the tissue samples are removed, the frequency of retrieval and placement of the embedding cassettes 500 is relatively high. Therefore, dividing the first storage area 111 for placing the embedding cassettes 500 into the area closest to the operator can greatly improve work efficiency.

[0082] And / or, in some embodiments, the second storage area 112 is located on the storage surface 11 in the area to the right of the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100. For example, as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, if the embedding agent bottle 600 is placed in the second storage area 112, the operator can conveniently and quickly pick up and put down the embedding agent bottle 600 with their right hand, which is ergonomic, adapts to the operator's operating habits, and helps improve work efficiency.

[0083] And / or, in some embodiments, one of the multiple storage areas is defined as a third storage area 113, wherein the third storage area 113 is used for storing miscellaneous items. For example, scissors and other accessories can be placed in the third storage area 113.

[0084] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the storage area is divided into three sections: a first storage area 111, a second storage area 112, and a third storage area 113. Among them, as... Figure 1 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the first storage area 111, the second storage area 112, and the third storage area 113 are used to place the embedding cassette 500, the embedding agent bottle 600, and miscellaneous items, respectively. Figure 2 As shown, in Embodiment 2, the first storage area 111, the second storage area 112, and the third storage area 113 are respectively used to place the embedding cassette 500 (or blade 700), the embedding agent bottle 600, and miscellaneous items. Figure 3 As shown, in Embodiment 3, the first storage area 111, the second storage area 112, and the third storage area 113 are used to place the blade 700, the embedding agent bottle 600, and miscellaneous items, respectively.

[0085] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a conveying structure 12 is provided on the side wall of the shelf 1. The conveying structure 12 can be used to lift or move the shelf 1 by hand so that the slicing platform 200 can be moved in space. Exemplarily, the shelf 1 is provided with conveying structures 12 on both the left and right sides. The conveying structure 12 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a handle, a lifting handle, a protrusion, and a groove.

[0086] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bottom of the shelf 1 is provided with at least two anti-slip feet 15. For example, the anti-slip feet 15 can be configured as height-adjustable feet, so that the operator can adjust the height of the shelf 1 according to their own usage habits for operation.

[0087] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first placement area 111 can be configured as a rectangular groove. The width of the rectangular groove ranges from 45mm to 55mm. For example, when the first placement area 111 is used to place the embedding cassette 500, the width of the rectangular groove can be adapted to the width of different sizes of embedding cassettes 500 commonly found on the market, which helps to improve the versatility of the slide stage 200.

[0088] And / or, in some embodiments, the length of the rectangular groove ranges from 300mm to 500mm. Exemplarily, when the first placement area 111 is used to place the embedding cassette 500, multiple embedding cassettes 500 can be arranged side by side in the rectangular groove. For example, depending on the length range of the rectangular groove, at least 10 embedding cassettes 500 can typically be placed, which helps to increase the processing capacity of the cryostat 100 within a short period of time.

[0089] And / or, in some embodiments, the second storage area 112 is configured as a circular recess, the diameter of which ranges from 20mm to 60mm. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the second storage area 112 is used to place the embedding vial 600, the circular groove can be adapted to different sizes of embedding vials 600 commonly available on the market, so that the embedding vial 600 can be placed in the corresponding circular groove, which helps to reduce the tipping rate of the embedding vial 600 and facilitates the neat placement of the embedding vial 600.

[0090] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the platform 1 has a recessed clearance groove 16 on the side near the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100. The clearance groove 16 is used to avoid the main display screen 110 of the cryostat 100. For example, when the slicing auxiliary platform 200 is placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, the clearance groove 16 of the platform 1 can be aligned with the main display screen 110 of the cryostat 100. On the one hand, the convex and concave fit between the main display screen 110 and the clearance groove 16 can achieve precise placement of the slicing auxiliary platform 200, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the placement of the slicing auxiliary platform 200; on the other hand, the clearance groove 16 can reduce the space occupied by the slicing auxiliary platform 200 on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the slicing auxiliary platform 200.

[0091] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate the manufacturing of the slicing platform 200, the platform 1 includes a base 13 and a tray 14. The tray 14 is mounted on top of the base 13, and its top surface is divided into a storage area. A clearance groove 16 is recessed into the base 13. For example, the side wall of the base 13 is provided with the aforementioned handling structure 12, such as a handle. Correspondingly, the bottom of the base 13 is also provided with the aforementioned anti-slip feet 15, such as feet.

[0092] In addition, to reduce the weight of the slicing stage 200 and further facilitate its installation and manufacturing, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the base 13 has an inner cavity 131 recessed inside, and the tray 14 is placed on the base 13 to cover the inner cavity 131.

[0093] This utility model embodiment also provides a slicing stage 200, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slicing stage 200 includes a stage 1, a display 3, and a support 2. The stage 1 is placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. The stage 1 has a placement surface 11, which is divided into placement areas, at least for placing the embedding cassette 500. The display 3 is wirelessly or wired connected to the main unit of the cryostat 100 and is used to display target information. The support 2 is disposed on the placement surface 11 of the stage 1 and is used to mount the display 3 and / or allow the operator to adjust the orientation of the display 3.

[0094] Understandably, when purchasing the cryostat 100, users can directly configure the corresponding slicing stage 200. 。For example, during transportation or when the cryostat 100 is not in operation, the slide platform 200 can be packaged separately, allowing the slide platform 200 and the cryostat 100 to be placed in different locations. When the cryostat 100 needs to be used, the operator can then place the slide platform 200 on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. This is very simple and convenient, and it allows for the most efficient use of the space on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, based on the characteristics of the microtome itself, ensuring the standardized use of space and environment in the pathology department.

[0095] In addition to storing the embedding cassette 500, the storage area can also be used to store at least one of the following: glass slides, blades 700, and embedding agent bottles 600. Since the embedding cassette 500 is frequently accessed and placed in the cryostat 100, centrally classifying and placing the embedding cassette 500 can prevent it from being mixed with other items, thus greatly improving the operator's ease of use and work efficiency.

[0096] It should be noted that the target information displayed on the monitor 3 includes, but is not limited to, the internal temperature of the cryostat 100, the sample holder temperature, the temperature at which slicing begins, the temperature at which slicing ends, the operator's information, and the patient's pathological information. For example, the operator can adjust various operating parameters via the main display screen 110 on the cryostat 100. Simultaneously, the operator can also observe the target information in real time via the monitor 3 mounted on the support 2, enabling hospitals and other institutions to trace various information during slice processing and the reasons for different processing results.

[0097] Furthermore, by way of example, when the operator needs to use the monitor 3, the operator can directly adjust the bracket 2 to move the monitor 3 in front, back, left, right, up, and down, as well as rotate it 360 degrees, so that the operator can adjust the monitor 3 in space according to their own usage habits and height, so that the monitor 3 is always in a position that is convenient for the operator to operate and observe.

[0098] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this one-stop slicing device 1000 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0099] The slide preparation table 200 divides the storage surface 11 of the platform 1 into storage areas for at least the embedding cassettes 500. This allows for quick and direct access to the embedding cassettes 500 before and after the slide preparation process, preventing the frequently used cassettes from being mixed with other items and eliminating the need to search through cluttered piles. This significantly improves operator efficiency and ease of use. The slide preparation table 200 also includes a support 2 on the platform 1 for mounting a monitor 3 and / or for adjusting the position of the monitor 3. The monitor 3 displays corresponding target information, facilitating hospitals and other institutions to track various information during slide processing and the reasons for different processing results.

[0100] In addition, when the cryostat 100 is needed, the slide platform 200 can be placed directly on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. When it is not needed, the slide platform 200 can be removed from the cryostat 100, which helps to make effective use of the table space of the cryostat 100 and ensures that the space and environment of the pathology department are used in an orderly and standardized manner.

[0101] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least two storage areas are provided, one of which is defined as the first storage area 111, and the other as the second storage area 112. The first storage area 111 is used for placing embedding cassettes 500, and the second storage area 112 is used for placing items other than embedding cassettes 500. By dividing the storage areas into first storage area 111 and second storage area 112, items of the same category can be placed in corresponding areas, or items of a target category can be separated from other items. This improves the cluttered arrangement of items on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, making it easier for the operator to quickly find the target items, thereby further improving space utilization and work efficiency.

[0102] And / or, in some embodiments, the support 2 is located on the periphery of the first storage area 111 and the second storage area 112, so that the operator can easily observe and operate, and reduce the probability of collision between the operator and the support 2 and / or the display 3 when picking up or placing items such as the embedding box 500. For example, the support 2 may be located on the side of the storage surface 11 closest to the operator's left hand.

[0103] And / or, in some embodiments, the bracket 2 is detachably mounted relative to the platform 1. This allows the bracket 2 to be directly removed from the platform 1 when the display screen is not needed, facilitating the multi-scenario application of the slicing platform 200. Furthermore, when transportation or storage is required, the bracket 2 can also be directly removed from the platform 1 to reduce the space occupied by the slicing platform 200 and facilitate storage.

[0104] And / or, in some embodiments, the first placement area 111 is located on the placement surface 11 in the area closest to the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100, so that the operator can more easily pick up and place the embedding cassette 500 in the first placement area 111, which is conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0105] And / or, in some embodiments, the second storage area 112 is located on the right side of the storage surface 11 near the main operating area 120. For example, as shown... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, if the embedding agent bottle 600 is placed in the second storage area 112, the operator can conveniently and quickly pick up and put down the embedding agent bottle 600 with their right hand, which is ergonomic, adapts to the operator's operating habits, and helps improve work efficiency.

[0106] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conveying structure 12 is provided on the side wall of the shelf 1. The conveying structure 12 can be used to lift or move the shelf 1 by hand so that the slicing platform 200 can be moved in space. For example, the shelf 1 is provided with conveying structures 12 on both the left and right sides. The conveying structure 12 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a handle, a lifting handle, a protrusion, and a groove.

[0107] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the shelf 1 is provided with at least two anti-slip feet 15. For example, the anti-slip feet 15 can be configured as height-adjustable feet, so that the operator can adjust the height of the shelf 1 according to their own usage habits for operation.

[0108] And / or, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the platform 1 has a recessed clearance groove 16 on the side near the main operating area 120 of the cryostat 100. The clearance groove 16 is used to avoid the main display screen 110 of the cryostat 100. For example, when the slicing auxiliary platform 200 is placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, the clearance groove 16 of the platform 1 can be aligned with the main display screen 110 of the cryostat 100. On the one hand, the convex and concave fit between the main display screen 110 and the clearance groove 16 can achieve precise placement of the slicing auxiliary platform 200, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the placement of the slicing auxiliary platform 200; on the other hand, the clearance groove 16 can reduce the space occupied by the slicing auxiliary platform 200 on the upper surface of the cryostat 100, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the slicing auxiliary platform 200.

[0109] Based on the aforementioned slicing stage 200, such as Figure 5As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a one-stop slicing device 1000, which includes a cryostat 100 and the above-mentioned slicing auxiliary table 200. The slicing auxiliary table 200 includes a placement table 1, which is used to place on the upper surface of the cryostat 100.

[0110] Alternatively, the one-stop slicing equipment 1000 includes a cryostat 100 and the aforementioned slicing platform 200, wherein the aforementioned slicing platform 200 includes a table 1, a display 3 and a support 2, and the table 1 is used to place on the upper surface of the cryostat 100.

[0111] In summary, compared with the prior art, the one-stop slicing equipment 1000 has at least the following beneficial effects: by fully integrating the slicing platform 200 with the cryostat 100, the one-stop slicing equipment 1000 effectively utilizes the table space of the cryostat 100, improves the operator's operating efficiency, and ensures that the space and environment of the pathology department are used in an orderly and standardized manner.

[0112] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the one-stop sectioning equipment 1000 also includes a slide marking machine 300, which is placed on the upper table of the cryostat 100.

[0113] And / or, in some embodiments, the slicing stage 200 is placed on the left side of the upper table of the cryostat 100, and the slide marking machine 300 is placed on the right side of the slicing stage 200.

[0114] And / or, in some embodiments, the one-stop slicing device 1000 further includes a marking machine 400, which is placed on the upper table of the cryostat 100.

[0115] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the one-stop sectioning equipment 1000 can be equipped with a slide marking machine 300 and a marking machine 400 on the upper table of the cryostat 100. When needed, a sectioning auxiliary table 200 can also be placed on the upper table of the cryostat 100. The marking machine 400 can be located between the slide marking machine 300 and the sectioning auxiliary table 200, that is, the sectioning auxiliary table 200, the marking machine 400, and the slide marking machine 300 are located on the upper table of the cryostat 100 from left to right.

[0116] For example, in this case, taking the first storage area 111 as a place to place the embedding cassette 500 and the second storage area 112 as a place to place the embedding agent bottle 600, the working principle of this one-stop sectioning device 1000 can be roughly as follows:

[0117] (1) After the operator obtains the tissue sample from the pathology sampling room, the tissue sample can be pre-placed in an embedding cassette 500 that is labeled with relevant information about the tissue sample. Then, these embedding cassettes 500 are placed side by side in the first storage area 111 of the slide preparation table 200 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 On one side, the embedding cassettes 500 containing tissue samples are taken out one by one from the placement area of ​​the slide stage 200. The taken-out embedding cassettes 500 are first placed on the slide marking machine 300 to scan the information on the label. The marking machine 400 copies and prints the label information on the embedding cassettes 500 scanned by the slide marking machine 300. Finally, a copy label identical to the label on the embedding cassette 500 can be output.

[0118] (2) After the labeling machine 400 prints the label outside the embedding box 500, the operator can take out the blank sample tray from the cryostat 100 and affix the above-mentioned copy label to the sample tray.

[0119] (3) The operator can then remove the tissue sample from the embedding cassette 500 and place it in the sample holder, and then put the empty embedding cassette 500 back in the first placement area 111 where it was originally located, or put it back on the other side of the first placement area 111, and from the second placement area 112 of the slide stage 200 (see...) Figures 1 to 3 Take out the embedding medium vial 600 containing the embedding medium, add the embedding medium to the sample holder through the embedding medium vial 600, and make the embedding medium completely cover the tissue sample. Then put the embedding medium vial 600 back to the original position of the embedding medium vial 600 in the second storage area 112, and place the sample holder on the cold stage of the cryostat 100 for complete freezing.

[0120] (4) Then, the completely frozen sample holder is installed on the head of the cryostat 100 and clamped. Then, the slide numbering machine 300 is used to print out a glass slide with a copy label of the corresponding embedding cassette 500. Then, the cryostat 100 is operated to trim and section the frozen embedded tissue sample on the sample holder with the blade 700. The sectioned tissue is then encapsulated on the corresponding blank glass slide to finally form a glass slide with the section.

[0121] It should be noted that before sectioning tissue samples, it is usually necessary to check or ensure that the blades of the cryostat 100 are functioning properly. If blade damage or section quality issues are found, the sectioning can be adjusted from the corresponding placement area of ​​the sectioning stage 200 (e.g., Figure 3 Take out a new blade 700 from the first storage area 111) and replace the old blade in the cryostat 100 before sectioning the tissue sample. In addition, if there is a blank slide on the sectioning stage 200, this slide can be used as a spare slide for the slide marking machine 300 for unforeseen circumstances.

[0122] Based on the aforementioned slicing stage 200, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment also provides a one-stop slicing device 1000, which includes a cryostat 100, a slide numbering machine 300, and the aforementioned slicing auxiliary table 200. The slicing auxiliary table 200 includes a platform 1, a display 3, and a support 2. The platform 1 is placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100. The slide numbering machine 300 is placed on the upper surface of the cryostat 100 and is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the display 3.
