摘要:
The invention provides a method for forming tissue pieces which allows stable and accurate winding around a core rod in rolling a sheet-like tissue piece, and a device therefor. In the tissue pieces used as each tissue piece in a tissue array obtained by arranging the tissue pieces on a substrate in an array form, the method for forming a roll-shaped tissue piece 6 obtained by rolling a sheet-like tissue piece 8 is characterized by the facts that the sheet-like tissue piece 8 is produced by slicing a tissue block 5 obtained by embedding the tissues with an embedding medium, the sheet-like tissue piece 8 is placed on a mounting block 12, peeling means 13 which easily enables peeling of the tissue piece 8 from the mounting block 12 is applied between the mounting block 12 and the tissue piece 8, and the tissue piece 8 is wound around a core rod 11 while heating the tissue piece 8 on the mounting block 12.

A container (10) for storing a biological sample for molecular diagnostic testing and/or histological testing is provided. The container (10) includes a first chamber (20) for receiving a sample holder (40) therein, a second chamber (26), and a closure (50) for enclosing the container (10). A transitional barrier (32), such as a valve, is in fluid communication between the two chambers. The transitional barrier (32) is transitional between a first position in which the first chamber is in fluid isolation from the second chamber, and a second position in which fluid can pass from at least one of the first and second chambers to the other of the first and second chambers.

The invention is intended to achieve high-precision quality control by alleviating a burden of personnel by improving the operation efficiency and preventing erroneous storage of embedding cassettes in a container. A control unit controls a cassette carrying unit so as to take out a cassette of a predetermined kind from a cassette storage in a predetermined order and carry the same to a cassette printing unit, and carry a cassette on which data is printed to a base container set in a container holding unit.

A cassette (30) for capturing in a disk of hardened wax a sample of cell fragments from reagents flowing along a cell flow pathway, the cassette including a filter to filter the fragments from the reagents and then embed the fragments on the filter in said wax to leave the disk of wax protruding from the cassette with the embedded cell fragments at a plane at which a tissue section can be cut with a microtome, the cassette including: i) a cylindrical port (36) which extends from a top surface (32) through a bottom surface (34) of the cassette and defines said cell flow pathway and in which the disk of wax is created, ii) a filter (40) with a pore size of less than 12µm, thereby to trap cellular matter; and iii) a porous filter support (60) on which the filter rests, and through which the reagent fluids can pass, and configured to conduct heat, in order to maintain the wax melted and to speed up the process of hardening the wax.

摘要:
The method for automatic evaluation, processing and/or testing of an anatomic pathology (including surgical pathology specimens, cytology specimens, autopsy specimens, histology specimens, molecular diagnostics/genetics specimen and any other specimen or part that is submitted to the anatomic pathology laboratory or laboratories) specimen of the present invention includes the initial step of obtaining a specimen to be evaluated and or tested and placing the specimen in a specimen container. Information regarding the specimen and any evaluation, processing and/or testing to be conducted thereon is entered into a computerized laboratory information system (LIS), an anatomic pathology information system (APIS) or Electronic Health Record (EHR) ordering system which is connected to and communicates with any or all parts of an anatomic pathology, histology or molecular diagnostics laboratory automation system (LAS) software. The specimen or sample, (including any part or subpart thereof) is placed into a primary or secondary container labeled with a unique identification code (usually an accession number or a modified accession number or a sequence number or a unique identification number). The container may be placed into a specimen carrier, and the carrier marked with an identification code which uniquely identifies the specimen and, by virtue of the identification code, the evaluation, processing and/or tests to be conducted thereon. The identification code may be in the form of a bar code, an RFID tag or similar device or any other identification that is either human read able, machine readable or electronically transferred. The specimen contained within the specimen container or within the specimen carrier is entered into the anatomic pathology, histology or molecular diagnostics LAS at a receiving station, which reads the identification code and thereby determines: 1. If evaluation, processing and/or tests which require process/steps which can be performed at/by variety of workstations; 2. If evaluation, processing and/or tests can have certain steps merged in an effort to ensure that they are carried out properly; 3. The priority of the specimen relative to other specimens already in the LAS; 4. The priority of each evaluation, processing and/or test to be conducted on the specimen; and 5. The most direct route from their receiving station to the workstation for conducting the highest priority evaluation, processing and/or test on the specimen.
