  • AUTOMATED HISTOLOGICAL PROCESSING OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS AND ASSOCIATED TECHNOLOGY
    Publication number: 20230194397
    Abstract: Automated system configured to perform and methods for performing one or more slide processing operations on slides bearing biological samples. The system and methods enable high sample throughput while also minimizing or limiting the potential for cross-contamination of slides. The automated systems can include features that facilitate consistency, controllability of processing time, and/or processing temperature.
