Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for processing a sample. The method includes acquiring an identification of each cassette in a basket and an identification of each sample contained in the cassette by reading an electronic tag of the cassette, wherein the identification of the cassette and the identification of the sample contained in the cassette are stored in an associated manner in the electronic tag of the cassette; acquiring information of each sample from a library information system based on the identification of the sample; and recording the information of each sample for use in subsequent processing of the sample.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an information processing apparatus (401) for a tissue processor (402). The tissue processor includes one or more sample baskets (403), a plurality of cassettes are located in each sample basket. The information processing apparatus (401) includes: a scanner, configured to scan a barcode containing information to be inputted to acquire a scan result; a camera, configured to capture at least one image for the plurality of cassettes in each sample basket; and a processor, configured to parse the scan result to acquire the information to be inputted and to process the at least one image to acquire an identification of each cassette. Further, the present invention provides an information processing system and an information processing method for a tissue processor.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for indicating a reagent status in a reagent bottle in a tissue processor and a tissue processor are provided. The apparatus includes a detector, a controller, and an indicator. The detector is configured to detect the reagent status. The controller is configured to generate a control signal based on the reagent status. The indicator is configured to generate a signal for indicating the reagent status based on the control signal. The apparatus may intuitively indicate the reagent status for an operator, such that the operator may replace the reagent timely and accurately, avoiding reagent replacement error.
