Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to a slide tray and a method of manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a slide tray including a plurality of slide receiving portions formed with grooves capable of receiving slides, and a method of manufacturing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] The Department of Pathology observes and analyzes morphological changes in a patient's cells, tissues, and tissue fluids to provide a basis for clinical doctors' treatment direction by making diagnoses. Previously, cytological or histological examinations in the Department of Pathology were typically performed by specialists who used the naked eye to interpret and diagnose the patient's cell or tissue slides under a microscope. However, with the recent introduction of digital slide scanners into pathological diagnosis, pathological diagnoses using digital images of scanned cell-stained or tissue-stained slides are now being performed in addition to pathological diagnoses using a microscope.

[0003] Slides containing patient specimens are stored in trays, which are then transported or stored. Specialists, examiners, digital slide scanners, and the like can then extract the slides for pathological diagnosis. In such pathological diagnosis, a slide tray is essential to minimize slide handling errors, such as slide breakage and loss. The slide tray must secure the slides to prevent breakage or loss when storing or transporting them, and must also allow the slides to be easily separated when a specialist, examiner, digital slide scanner, or the like applies external force to remove the slides from the slide tray. However, existing slide trays have problems such as insufficient retention strength, requiring excessive external force when separating the slides, or requiring numerous components for sufficient retention strength and easy separation. The present disclosure is intended to address these problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0026] To clarify the technical concept of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. When describing the present disclosure, detailed descriptions of related known functions or components will be omitted if it is determined that such descriptions may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure. Components having substantially the same functional configurations among the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals and characters whenever possible, even if they appear in different drawings. For ease of description, apparatuses and methods will be described together when necessary. Operations in the present disclosure do not necessarily have to be performed in the order described, but may be performed in parallel, selectively, or individually.

[0027] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are currently commonly used and general terms that have been selected as much as possible while taking into consideration the functionality of the present disclosure, but these may vary depending on the intentions of engineers working in the field, precedents, the emergence of new technologies, etc. In addition, in certain cases, the applicant may arbitrarily select terms, and in such cases, the meanings thereof will be described in detail in the description of the embodiments. Therefore, the terms used in this specification must be defined based on the meanings of the terms and the overall content of the present disclosure, rather than simply by the names of the terms.

[0028] Throughout this disclosure, singular expressions may include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Terms such as "comprise" or "have" are intended to specify the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, and should be understood as not precluding the presence or possibility of addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. In other words, throughout this disclosure, when a part "comprises" a certain component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but that it can further include other components, unless otherwise specified to the contrary.

[0029] A phrase such as "at least one" modifies the entire list of members, not each member of the list individually. For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" and "at least one of A, B, or C" refer to only A, only B, only C, both A and B, both B and C, both A and C, A, B, and C in their entirety, or any combination thereof.

[0030] Furthermore, terms such as "... unit" and "... module" used in this disclosure refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which can be realized in hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software.

[0031] Throughout this disclosure, when a part is said to be "connected" to another part, this includes not only when the part is "directly connected" to another part, but also when the part is "electrically connected" to another part via another element therebetween. Furthermore, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, this does not mean that the part excludes the other component, but that the part may further include the other component, unless otherwise specified.

[0032] As used throughout this disclosure, the phrase "configured to" can be used interchangeably with, for example, "suitable for," "having the capacity to," "designed to," "adapted to," "made to," or "capable of," depending on the context. The term "configured to" does not necessarily mean "specifically designed to" hardware. Instead, in some contexts, the phrase "a system configured to" can mean that the system, together with other devices or components, is "capable of." For example, the phrase "a processor configured to perform A, B, and C" can refer to a dedicated processor for performing the operations (e.g., an embedded processor) or a general-purpose processor (e.g., a CPU or application processor) that can perform the operations by executing one or more software programs stored in memory.

[0033] Throughout this disclosure, a slide refers to a thin, flat piece of glass used to fix a specimen, and may include, but is not limited to, a glass slide, a glass slide, a microscope slide, a glass slide on which a specimen is placed and then covered with a cover glass, etc.

[0034] Throughout this disclosure, a slide tray is a case for transporting or storing slides, and may also be referred to as a tray, glass plate, slide plate, slide holder, glass holder, slide case, glass case, slide folder, glass folder, etc.

[0035] Throughout this disclosure, adsorptivity can refer to the ability of atoms, ions, or molecules to adhere to a surface from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid. In one embodiment, adsorptivity can include physical adsorptivity, which utilizes the characteristics of weak van der Waals forces; chemical adsorptivity, which utilizes the characteristics of covalent bonds; electrostatic adsorptivity, which utilizes electrostatic attraction; and adhesiveness.

[0036] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a slide tray according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0037] 1, slide tray 100 may include a planar member 110. In addition, one surface of planar member 110 may be formed with a plurality of slide receiving portions formed as grooves capable of receiving slides. For example, the plurality of slide receiving portions may include a first slide receiving portion 122, a second slide receiving portion 124, a third slide receiving portion 126, a fourth slide receiving portion 132, a fifth slide receiving portion 134, and a sixth slide receiving portion 136. In one embodiment, the plurality of slide receiving portions may be formed by grooves formed in planar member 110 that are equal to or greater than the thickness of the slides.

[0038] In one embodiment, the plurality of slide receiving portions may be formed at predetermined intervals on the planar member 110. For example, taking the slide tray 100 of FIG. 1 as an example, the planar member 110 of the slide tray 100 has a rectangular shape, and eight slide receiving portions including the first slide receiving portion 122, the second slide receiving portion 124, and the third slide receiving portion 126 may be formed at predetermined intervals in a first row of the planar member 110, and eight slide receiving portions including the fourth slide receiving portion 132, the fifth slide receiving portion 134, and the sixth slide receiving portion 136 may be formed at predetermined intervals in the first row and a second row. In addition, the slide receiving portions formed in the first row and the slide receiving portions formed in the second row may be formed at predetermined intervals. However, this is merely an example, and the number of slide receiving portions included in the slide tray 100, the shape of the planar member 110, and the shape of the plurality of slide receiving portions formed at predetermined intervals may be variously modified.

[0039] In one embodiment, each of the slide receiving units may be at least partially hollow. For example, the first slide receiving unit 122 may be formed with a first hollow portion 140 and a second hollow portion 150. Alternatively, the first slide receiving unit 122 may be formed with only the first hollow portion 140. However, this is merely an example, and each of the slide receiving units may include at least one of a hollow portion corresponding to the first hollow portion 140 and a hollow portion corresponding to the second hollow portion 150, or may include additional hollow portions other than the first hollow portion 140 and the second hollow portion 150. According to one embodiment, the first hollow portion 140 is a hollow portion for lifting a slide received from the slide receiving unit, and a user of the slide tray 100 can easily lift slides stacked on the slide tray 100 using the first hollow portion 140. Therefore, the first hollow portion 140 may correspond to a hole large enough to comfortably grip a slide with a human finger. In one embodiment, the first hollow portion 140 may include an outer curved surface. For example, the first hollow portion 140 may have a shape of a circle, a semicircle, or a part of a circle and a straight line.

[0040] In one embodiment, an adhesive film (not shown) may be attached to at least a portion of each of the slide receiving portions so that the slides can be attached and detached to the slide receiving portions. When a slide is received in the slide receiving portion, the adhesive film may serve to fix the relative position of the slide and the slide receiving portion. When a slide is received in the slide receiving portion, the adhesive film may generate an adhesive force between the slide and the slide receiving portion. For example, the adhesive force between the slide and the slide receiving portion may be an intermolecular adhesive force, which may include an electrostatic force.

[0041] In one embodiment, the adhesive film may include an electrostatic film, a porous adhesive film, a film utilizing van der Waals force, a covalent film, an adhesive film, etc. For example, when a porous adhesive film is used, the slide may be accommodated in the slide accommodating portion by vacuum suction through a porous material between the slide and the slide accommodating portion. Furthermore, an example of an adhesive film may be an adhesive tape.

[0042] According to one embodiment, an adhesive film is used to increase the holding force between the slide and the slide tray, so that no energy supply other than an appropriate external force is required to lift the slide. This eliminates the need for other equipment such as springs, electrical wiring, and air piping, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the slide tray.

[0043] In one embodiment, the absorbent film may include a polymer-based base and a coating layer made of a resin material. According to one embodiment, the use of a coating layer made of a resin material may enable repeated use of the slide tray. Furthermore, if the adhesive strength of the absorbent film deteriorates after repeated use, the absorbent film may be replaced with a new one.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first hollow portion 140 may be a hollow portion for lifting the slide accommodated in the first slide accommodating portion 122 from the first slide accommodating portion 122. When a slide is accommodated on one side of the first slide accommodating portion 122, a portion of the first hollow portion 140 may be covered by the slide in a direction perpendicular to one side of the planar member 110, and another portion may be exposed in a direction perpendicular to the one side of the planar member 110. Furthermore, when a slide is accommodated on one side of the first slide accommodating portion 122, the entire area of ​​the second hollow portion 150 may be covered by the slide.

[0045] In one embodiment, the planar member 110 may display identification information for the slide tray 100, reference direction information 170 for inserting the slide tray into the slide scanner, and identification information 160 for the slide holders. For example, the identification information for the slide tray 100 may include a serial number for the slide tray 100, and the identification information for the slide holders may include an identification number indicating the order of the slide holders. In one embodiment, the slide scanner may be equipment that scans the slides held in the slide tray 100 into high-resolution digital images. The slide scanner may also be referred to as a digital slide scanner, and may automatically scan multiple slides to generate virtual slide images.

[0046] According to one embodiment, the slide tray 100 may include information such as slide tray identification information, reference orientation information 170 for insertion into a slide scanner, etc., thereby providing information that may further facilitate analysis of the slides contained in the slide tray.

[0047] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a slide tray to which an adhesive film is attached according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 2 , a slide tray 100 may be provided in which adhesive films 210, 220, and 230 are attached to at least a portion of a plurality of slide receiving sections. Using the fourth slide receiving section 132 as an example, adhesive films 210, 220, and 230 may be attached to at least a portion of the area of ​​the slide receiving section excluding hollow sections 240 and 250. Similarly, adhesive films may be attached to each of the plurality of slide receiving sections, including the first slide receiving section 122 through the sixth slide receiving section 136. For example, adhesive films 210, 220, and 230 may be attached to multiple areas. Furthermore, adhesive films 210, 220, and 230 may be circular. However, this is merely an example, and adhesive films 210, 220, and 230 may have other shapes, be attached to only one area, or be attached to the entire area of ​​slide receiving section 132 excluding hollow sections 240 and 250.

[0049] In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing slide tray 100 may include both a method for manufacturing slide tray 100 with adhesive films 210, 220, 230 attached thereto and a method for manufacturing slide tray 100 with and without adhesive films attached thereto. That is, a manufacturer of slide tray 100 may produce both slide trays with and without adhesive films attached thereto and sell them to consumers, who may then attach adhesive films to the slide trays for use.

[0050] Conventionally, various devices such as springs and clips were required separately to secure slides to slide trays. However, according to one embodiment, costs can be reduced by using an adhesive film to manufacture a slide tray that has a fixing force for slides.

[0051] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the slides are fixed to the slide tray using an adhesive film, so that the slides can be easily fixed to the slide tray and can be easily separated from the slide tray as needed.

[0052] In one embodiment, the adhesive film is coated with a special resin to allow the user to attach and detach slides to and from the slide tray, allowing the user to reuse the slide tray repeatedly.

[0053] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a slide tray to which an adhesive film is attached according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 3 , a slide tray 100 may be provided in which adhesive films 310 and 320 are attached to at least a portion of each of the slide receiving sections. Using the fourth slide receiving section 132 as an example, adhesive films 310 and 320 may be attached to at least a portion of the area of ​​the slide receiving section excluding the hollow section 330. Similarly, an adhesive film may be attached to each of the slide receiving sections, including the first slide receiving section 122 through the sixth slide receiving section 136. The first adhesive film 310 and the second adhesive film 320 may have different shapes. For example, the first adhesive film 310 may be circular, and the second adhesive film 320 may be rectangular. However, this is merely an example and is not limited thereto. The adhesive films attached to the slide receiving sections may have the same shape or different shapes, such as a circle, a semicircle, a rectangle, a polygon, or a shape with rounded corners.

[0055] 2 and 3 are merely examples of how films of various shapes and numbers can be attached to multiple slide holders, and are not intended to limit the method of attaching the films. Films of appropriate numbers and shapes can be attached to appropriate positions on the slide holders, taking into consideration sufficient fixing force for the slides and appropriate strength of the external force required for easy separation.

[0056] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a slide tray containing slides according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 4, a slide tray 400 is shown having slides 440, 450, and 460 accommodated in a plurality of slide accommodation sections. The slide tray 400 may correspond to the slide tray 100 described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In one embodiment, the slides 440, 450, and 460 may be accommodated in the corresponding slide accommodation sections. To properly accommodate the slides 440, 450, and 460, the width (length along the x-axis) and groove height (length along the z-axis) of the slide accommodation sections may correspond to the width (length along the x-axis) and thickness (length along the z-axis) of the slides. However, the length along the y-axis of the grooves corresponding to the slide accommodation sections may be at least partially longer than the vertical length (length along the y-axis) of the slides. This allows a user of the slide tray 400 to easily lift the slides 440, 450, and 460 from the slide accommodation sections by utilizing the gaps 410, 420, and 430 between the slide accommodation sections and the slides. For example, a user can lift slides 440, 450, 460 by inserting part of a finger into the gap 410, 420, 430 between the slide receiving portion and the slide.

[0058] In one embodiment, slide 440 may include sample information 470 generated using at least one of numbers, letters, a Quick Response code (QR code), and a barcode, and the sample information may correspond to at least one of the subject's name, gender, age, medical history, and sample information.

[0059] In one embodiment, specimen information 470 can be used when slide tray 400 is transported to and scanned by a slide scanner. For example, the slide scanner can scan specimens contained in slides 440 while simultaneously scanning specimen information 470 contained in slides 440 to identify the subject's specimen, and store a mapping between the scanned specimen and specimen information 470. Furthermore, if specimen information 470 includes the subject's medical history, the slide scanner can map specimen information 470, including the subject's medical history, to the scanned specimen, thereby helping the pathologist make a more accurate pathological diagnosis.

[0060] The above description of the present disclosure is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that the present disclosure can be easily modified into other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all respects and not limiting. For example, each component described as a single component may be implemented in a distributed form, and similarly, each component described as a distributed component may be implemented in a combined form.

[0061] The scope of the present disclosure is indicated by the claims that follow rather than by the above detailed description, and all modifications and variations that fall within the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present disclosure.
