  • DEVICE TO COLLECT AND SEGREGATE TISSUE SAMPLES SECTIONED ON A MICROTOME
    Publication number: 20150168277
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods handling a portion of a tissue sample when sectioned by a microtome. The apparatuses include a container, a tissue sample holder in the container, and one or more outlets configured to allow flow of a fluid from the container. the flow through the outlet causes a portion of the tissue sample sectioned by a microtome to move into the outlet. The methods include sectioning one or more portions of a tissue sample, and flowing a fluid past the tissue sample to cause the one or more portions of the tissue sample to move away from the tissue sample and toward at least one fluid outlet.
