Abstract: An apparatus for treating objects, in particular cytological or histological specimens, having multiple processing stations and a transport device for delivering the objects into and out of the processing stations, is characterized in that at least one running-water station (1), having an inflow (2) and an outflow (3), is provided as a processing station.

Abstract: A cryostat (1), having a container (2) for receiving a microtome, is described. Provided in the cryostat (1) is a cleaning and/or disinfection device that comprises at least one spray nozzle and a pump (5) for spraying a cleaning and/or disinfection liquid in the container (2). The cryostat (1) is equipped with a control circuit (6) for activating the pump (5), at least one of the spray nozzles being embodied as a swirl nozzle (4) having a spray angle of 360°.

Abstract: A cryostat (1), having a cryostat chamber (2) in which a microtome for cutting frozen specimens is arranged, is described. An illumination device (4) for illuminating the cryostat chamber (2) is provided, the illumination device (4) comprising at least one LED (5).

Abstract: An apparatus for treating objects, in particular cytological or histological specimens, having multiple processing stations and preferably a transport device for delivering the objects into and out of the processing stations, is characterized in that at least one heatable reagent station (1) is provided as a processing station.

Abstract: A device (1) for embedding specimens in paraffin wax is described. The device (1) is equipped with a pouring station (2) in which liquid paraffin wax is delivered onto the specimen. The device (1) comprises a heated working plate (3) in which an opening (4) is provided for the runoff of overflowing paraffin wax. A collection container (5) embodied as a drawer is arranged below that opening (4) for collection of the overflowing paraffin wax. A circuit arrangement (6) for signaling a filled collection container (5) is provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating objects, in particular cytological or histological specimens, having multiple processing stations (2) and a transport device (4) for delivering the objects into and out of the processing stations (2), the processing station (2) comprising a container (3) for receiving liquids, in particular reagents, and for immersion of the objects or of the object holders (7) carrying the objects, is characterized, in order to increase the flexibility of the apparatus, in that an insert (8) that fits into the container (3) and reduces the maximum capacity of the container (3) is provided, a rack (7) that carries the object carrier (9) and serves for immersion into the container (3) being adapted in terms of its dimensions in accordance with the remaining volume.

Abstract: A method for treating objects, in particular cytological or histological specimens, for example in an automatic stainer, the objects being delivered, preferably on object carriers and in object carrier magazines, by means of a transport device to various processing stations, inserted therein, and treated in accordance with a selectable or a definable or programmable treatment program, is characterized by unequivocal allocation of the object carriers or object carrier magazines, or clips or labeling fields to be attached thereon, to specific treatment programs.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for treating objects, in particular cytological or histological specimens, having multiple processing stations (2) and a transport device (4) for delivering the objects into and out of the processing stations (2), a loading station (6) for loading with objects to be treated or object carriers (5) carrying the objects to be treated, and a removal station (7) for removing the treated objects or object carriers carrying the treated objects, being provided, which is characterized in that a definable number of processing stations can be allocated in fixed or variable fashion to the loading station (6) and/or the removal station (7).
