The biopsy cassette assembly comprises a cassette (3), a first lid (1) that accompanies the assembly as a seperate unit or is attached to a second lid (2) that is detachably attached to the cassette (3) by a through hole (7) in the cassette (3). A partly perforated detachable basket (5) is attached to the underside of the cassette (3), in which basket (5) a tissue sample should be held after the biopsy has been performed, and the basket (5) extends down into a container (6) that is filled with a tissue fixation medium such as formalin, and which is designed to be detachably attached to the underside of the cassette (3). A method for biopsy preparation by use of a biopsy cassette assembly, in which a solid gel-biopsy-button is formed in a basket (5) detachably attached to the underside of a cassette (3) by filling heated gel in the basket (5) and then cooling it. A cassette-gel-tissue paraffin aggregate is formed by filling heated paraffin in the basket (5) through a perforated first lid (1) attached to the top of the cassette (3) by means of a through hole (7) in the cassette. |
