Method and system for use of treatment liquids in an apparatus for staining of tissue specimens on microscope slides

Abstract

A method and a system for use of treatment liquids in an apparatus for staining of tissue specimens on microscope slides, wherein the apparatus comprises a plurality of vessels ( 4 ) for receiving different liquids for treatment of the tissue specimens, a plurality of tanks ( 11 ) for treatment liquids, connecting lines ( 15 ) between the tanks and the vessels, a plurality of pumps ( 13 ) connected on the connecting lines, and a control unit for control of the apparatus and the liquid treatment by means of a data program, wherein the control unit is arranged for selective control of the relevant pumps ( 13 ), so that vessels ( 4 ) to be used in a staining process, are filled with liquid ( 14 ) at the start of the staining process, and so that the liquid-filled vessels ( 4 ) are emptied automatically when they are no longer to be used in the staining process.

1 . A method for use of treatment liquids in an apparatus for staining of tissue specimens on microscope slides, wherein the apparatus comprises a plurality of vessels for receiving different liquids for treatment of the tissue specimens, and wherein the liquids are supplied to the vessel from appurtenant tanks via connecting lines with appurtenant pumps, the liquid treatment in the different vessels being controlled by a control unit by means of a data program, wherein the liquids at the start of a staining process are supplied selectively to the relevant vessel to be used in the staining process, and that the liquid-filled vessels are emptied automatically via the connecting lines when the liquids are no longer to be used in the staining process, so that the used treatment liquids are returned to the relevant tanks after use.
