  • Patent number: 12571808
    Abstract: This document provides devices and methods for an automated tissue grossing system. For example, an automatic tissue grossing system can include an intake system configured to receive a specimen jar containing a tissue sample; a robotic arm comprising a gripper configured to grip the specimen jar; a decapping module comprising a stationary gripper configured to grip the specimen jar and a rotary gripper configured to rotate on a vertical axis and grip a lid of the specimen jar; and a vacuum module comprising an integrated grossing platform, wherein the grossing platform includes a slot sized to receive a cassette from the robotic arm and provide negative pressure through the slot to facilitate tissue transfer from the specimen jar to the cassette.
