Publication number: 20230221223Abstract: A sample processing assembly for treatment of a sample on a substrate includes a mounting surface for the substrate and a closure body configured to releasably retain a cover member. The closure body is movable between an open position and a substantially closed position. When a substrate is placed in the assembly and the closure body is in the substantially closed position while retaining a cover member, a reaction chamber is formed for processing a sample. A cover member for use with the sample processing assembly is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: LEICA BIOSYSTEMS MELBOURNE PTY LTDInventors: Kenneth HENG-CHONG NG, Mark Brian Dockrill, Peter Toogood, Martin Limon, Daniel Dobrogorsky, Mark Wilcock, Greg Boyes, Brendyn Rodgers, Stephen John Bagnato, Ashan Chiranga Perera

Patent number: 9927332Abstract: A slide transport system for an automated slide treatment apparatus having slide treatment modules for receiving slides and a fluid dispensing robot configured by a controller to dispense reagents to the slides is disclosed. The slide transport system includes a slide transport robot configured by the controller to move the slides to and from the slide treatment modules and a slide transport device disposed on the slide transport robot and configured by the controller to releasably hold the slides. A slide handling head on the slide transport robot moves a closure body of a slide treatment module from a normally closed to an open position to move slides in the slide treatment module. The slide transport device is configured by the controller to release a slide when located in the slide treatment module, when the closure body is in the open position.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: LEICA BIOSYSTEMS MELBOURNE PTY LTDInventors: Mark Brian Dockrill, Martin Limon, Mark Wilcock, Steve Collins, Brendyn Rodgers
