Abstract: Improvements in a processing basket lining system for slide maker-stainer instrument. The utility liner is configured to sit on top of the processing baskets that are customarily occupied/filled with the processing reagents. The probe jackets are shaped to slip in and out without interfere with its capacity to dispense-drain reagents while submerged to the intended reagents in the processing baskets. The liners provide a surface between the processing baskets or probes and the reagents where debris can accumulate as a waste by-product of the process largely in quantities or simply just by the length of use time. The disposable utility lining system, processing basket and probe cover are disposable. The liners are preferably made of plastics. The material of choice is tested not to react with the processing reagent for a period of time, depending on the manufacturer's maintenance requirement.
