Abstract
A device (20) for processing tissue samples has a processing room (22) for introducing and processing the tissue samples (20). A chamber (34) communicates with the processing room (22). At least one filling level sensor (28, 30, 32) detects a measurement value which is representative of a filling level of a liquid in the chamber (34). A calculating unit determines a filling level of the liquid in the processing room (22) depending on the filling level of the liquid in the chamber (34).
Claims22
A device for processing tissue samples, comprising:
- a processing room for introducing and processing the tissue samples;
- a chamber in communication with the processing room;
- a filling level sensor for detecting a measurement value which is representative of a filling level of a liquid in the chamber;
- and
- a calculating unit that determines a filling level of the liquid in the processing room depending on the filling level of the liquid in the chamber;
- wherein the chamber is formed in a wall of the processing room and the chamber is separated from the processing room by a perforated sheet.
A device for processing tissue samples, comprising:
- a processing room for introducing and processing the tissue samples;
- and
- a filling level sensor for detecting the filling level of a liquid in the processing room, the filling level sensor having a longitudinal axis which encloses a predetermined angle of less than 90° with a wall of the processing MOM.
A device for processing tissue samples, comprising:
- a processing room for introducing and processing the tissue samples;
- a filling level sensor, the measurement value of which is representative of a filling level of a liquid in the processing room;
- and
- a heating device for heating the filling level sensor.
