  • Reagents and methods for automated hybridization
    Patent number: 6933117
    Abstract: The invention provides novel reagents, reagent kits, and methods for automated hybridization. More particularly, the invention provides reagents, reagent kits, and methods for automated in situ hybridization and automated hybridization on a microarray. The use of automated instruments for in situ hybridization and microarray hybridization dramatically reduces the amount of labor and time involved and also facilitates standardization of protocols and consistency between results.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2005
    Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Catherine Wolf, Hiroaki Nitta, Thomas Grogan, Jacques Cavadenti, Lidija Pestic-Dragovich, Anthony Hartman, Angela Sattler, Jennifer Wong
  • Automated molecular pathology apparatus having independent slide heaters
    Publication number: 20040052685
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for automatically staining or treating multiple tissue samples mounted on microscope slides are provided. Individualized slide temperature control is accomplished by the heating system according to the present invention that has thermal platforms radially mounted to the carousel for heating the slides and sensing the temperature of each. The heating system also permits automated de-waxing if necessary.
