Abstract: A device for moving contents of a tube by acting on the exterior of the tube is provided. The device includes a housing having a tube passageway extending along a length thereof for holding a tube therein. A first roller and a second roller are moveable between a first position and a second position and configured to compress the tube in the second position. A first roller chassis is coupled to the housing for mounting the first roller therein and a second roller chassis is coupled to the housing for mounting the second roller therein. The first and second roller chassis are moveable between a first position in which the tube is disengaged and a second position in which the tube is engaged. A lever operably coupled to the housing causes the first or second roller to pivot and engage the tube positioned within the passageway.

Abstract: A tissue marking system for marking a tissue sample includes at least one container and at least one ink stored in the container. The at least one ink may include a plurality of inks each of a different colored and may be sterile or non-sterile. The ink has a viscosity of from 85 ku to 115 ku such that when applied to a tissue surface having adjacent tissue margins, the ink does not migrate onto an adjacent tissue surface.

Abstract: A device for moving contents of a tube by acting on the exterior of the tube is provided. The device includes a housing having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion including a tube passageway extending along a length thereof for holding a tube therein. A roller housed within a roller chassis contacts the tube and is configured to move between a first position in which the tube is disengaged and a second position in which the tube is engaged. A second roller is rotatably coupled to an actuator for rotatably energizing the second roller and is moveable between a first position in which the tube is disengaged and a second position in which the tube is engaged. A lever is operably coupled to the housing and configured to actuate a motor to move the second roller to the second position. The first roller and the second roller are configured to compress the tube to move contents within the tube.
