Processor for processing histological samples of tissues removed from patient, has inlet inserting closed, fixing containers, and embedding station integrated in processor, where containers are directly arranged in interior after insertion

摘要

The processor (1) has an inlet (2) for inserting closed, fixing containers (5). An embedding station (15) is integrated in the processor. The containers are directly arranged in an interior (11) of the processor after insertion into the processor. A separating device separates samples to be embedded from samples to be non-embedded. An outlet (3) delivers the non-embedded samples. Another outlet (4) delivers the embedded samples. A handling device (6) receives the samples from the containers, and supplies the samples to a sample receiving container (70) or reagent containers (71). An independent claim is also included for a method for processing histological samples.
