Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for tissue processing of at least one biological tissue (105), comprising processing the at least one tissue (105) using at least one fluid (110, 120, 130, 140), determining a concentration change rate in the at least one fluid (110, 120, 130, 140), and performing a measure depending on the determined concentration change rate. Further, a corresponding tissue processor (100) is proposed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a melting apparatus (100) for melting paraffin (1), having: a melting container (110) for receiving paraffin (1) to be melted; a storage container (190) for storing molten paraffin (4); having a melting container heating device (120) for heating the melting container (110), having a storage container heating device (191) for heating the storage container (190), having a fluid connection (113) fluidically connecting the melting container (110) and the storage container; the melting container (110), the storage container (190), and the fluid connection (113) being arranged so that molten paraffin (4) flows out of the melting container (110) into the storage container (190).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for execution upon processing of at least one histological sample that is arranged, in particular after an infiltration process, in a closed cassette (2). The method is characterized in that prior to opening of the cassette (2), the sample is detached from the cover of the cassette (2) and/or isolated.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for melting paraffin, the paraffin (1) that is to be melted, and metallic bodies (2), being arranged in a melting container (210), eddy currents being induced in the metallic bodies (2) using at least one inductor (220); furthermore to a melting apparatus (200) for melting paraffin, having a melting container (210) for receiving paraffin (1) that is to be melted and metallic bodies (2), and having an inductor (220) for inducing eddy currents in the metallic bodies (2) received in the melting container (210); and to paraffin (1), having metallic bodies (2) embedded therein, which is configured in order to be inductively melted in a melting container (210).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a processor for working on histological samples. The processor has an inlet for the insertion of a fixing container, particularly a closed fixing container, with the samples located in the latter.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for treatment of histological samples. The apparatus includes at least a working station, in which the sample gets into contact with a liquid reagent. Further, the apparatus includes a purification device, which blows off at least a part of the reagent adhering to the sample and/or the sample holding arrangement by means of a gas flow, or which sucks off at least a part of the reagent adhering to the sample and/or a sample holding arrangement.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for detaching and/or isolating a histological sample that is adhering to another sample and/or to the inside of a cassette, for example as a result of solidification of an embedding medium within a cassette. The sample is immobilized in a sample receiving chamber above a first fill level of a liquid that is suitable for counteracting the adhesion; and that the fill level of the liquid is then elevated at least until said level reaches the sample. An apparatus according to the present invention that can be used for carrying out the method comprises a sample receiving chamber and an adjusting chamber, the adjusting chamber being connected to the sample receiving chamber in such a way that a change in the fill level height of the liquid in the sample receiving chamber is producible by changing the pressure existing in the adjusting chamber.
