Abstract
A method of removing a floatation liquid from between a microscope slide and a paraffin embedded biological specimen including position the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon onto a slide support element. The slide support element is rotated to cause the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to move in a way that causes the floatation liquid disposed between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to be removed from between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a microscope slide and at least one paraffin embedded biological specimen floated onto the microscope slide with a floatation liquid;
- positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon on a slide support having a longitudinal axis so the paraffin embedded specimen is positioned in close proximity to the longitudinal axis of the slide support;
- and
- rotating the slide support about the longitudinal axis of the slide support so the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen rotate about the longitudinal axis of the slide support at a rate and for a time period sufficient to cause substantially all the floatation liquid disposed between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to be removed from between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen.

- positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon on a slide support having a longitudinal axis so the paraffin embedded specimen is positioned in close proximity to the longitudinal axis of the slide support;
- positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon in a reaction compartment;
- and
