Patent number: 11506579Abstract: An assembly for forming a microchamber for an inverted substrate is disclosed. The assembly can include a body having a chamber formed therein. A dispensing cavity can be provided to supply a reagent to the chamber. A slide support structure can be configured to support the slide such that the tissue sample faces the chamber when the slide is mounted to the slide support structure. The chamber and the slide support structure can be dimensioned such that, when the reagent is supplied to the dispensing cavity, the reagent is drawn to the chamber by way of capillary forces acting on the reagent.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: BioGenex Laboratories, Inc.Inventor: Krishan L.

Patent number: 7472803Abstract: An automated dispensing assembly includes a base, and a shuttle mounted in the base and movable under automated control between a loading position and a dispensing position. The shuttle includes a cavity configured to carry an object, such as cover. The depth of the cavity in the shuttle is approximately the same (or less) as the thickness of one of the objects. A storage module is mounted proximate the shuttle. The storage module is configured to store a plurality of objects and includes an opening exposing the next object to be dispensed. The cavity is positioned adjacent the opening in the storage module in the loading position and an edge of the cavity separates the object to be dispensed from the other objects in the storage module as the shuttle moves to the dispensing position.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: BioGenex Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Krishan L.

Publication number: 20030100043Abstract: A device and methods for the automated histotechnological processing of a specimen are disclosed. The device comprises a microwave unit and a specimen positioning device which transports the specimen into a tank within the microwave unit where automated heating takes place. Preferably the microwave unit is controlled by a real-time microwave processor that permits control of the temperature within the microwave tank. Automated methods of dewaxing, antigen retrieval, nucleic acid retrieval, and hematoxylin and eosin staining which can be used in conjunction with the device are also provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided for simultaneous dewaxing and antigen retrieval; solutions useful for this method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2001Publication date: May 29, 2003Applicant: BioGenex Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Krishan L.
