Patent number: 11935632Abstract: Tissue sample management systems include a central network, a medical professional system, and a pathology lab system for processing a tissue sample in a matrix having a sectionable code. At least the pathology lab system includes at least one imaging device, and the central network is configured to process images from the at least one imaging device to identify and record at least the sectionable code of the matrix. Methods for tissue sample processing include providing a matrix having a sectionable code and measurement marks, the matrix for receiving a tissue sample, and identifying the sectionable code from an image taken of the tissue sample in the matrix. Tissue sample-receiving matrices include a sectionable alphanumeric code or bar code, a tissue sample receptacle, and measurement marks formed along a sidewall thereof. The matrices include one or more proteins and one or more lipids.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Leavitt Medical, Inc.Inventors: Matthew O. Leavitt, Sorin Musat

Publication number: 20230324265Abstract: A tamper for making paraffin blocks for histology may include a pliable tamper head and a handle. The handle may be permanently or removably attached to the tamper by using screws, magnets, or the like. The tamper may be made from a pliable material, such as a silicone rubber, with improved thermal transfer and high latent heat. In use, the tamper may be warmed in advance to a working temperature by placing the tamper on a hot plate of the embedding station or on a dedicated smaller hot plate. Alternatively, the tamper may be heated with an electric resistive element, a thermoelectric device, or an electric induction coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventor: Sorin Musat

Publication number: 20230106756Abstract: A custom-made matrix suitable for receiving a tissue sample is described, as well as the use thereof to obtain a multiplex histological preparation. The disclosure also relates to a multiplex biopsy array comprising tissue and/or cell samples arranged in a matrix material and to a method for the preparation of a multiplex biopsy array. Methods for preparing blocks of matrix material to be used in multiplex biopsy arrays are also described, as well as methods for loading biopsy samples in the blocks, and methods for treating and processing the blocks to form biopsy arrays. The biopsy arrays made using the block of matrix material can be used to prepare sections and slides for histological procedures, including quantitative analyses and parallel processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventor: Sorin Musat
