TISSUE PIECE TREATING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF OPERATING TISSUE PIECE TREATING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a technology capable of automatically preparing a mixed liquid having a fixed ratio. To address the problem, the following processes are carried out in a tissue piece treating apparatus (10). (a) By use of a detection sensor (36), a dehydrating agent is transferred from a dehydrating agent tank (large-capacity tank (15)) to a treatment tank (11) until reaching a prescribed level. (b) By use of the detection sensor (36), an intermediate agent is transferred from an intermediate agent tank (large-capacity tank (17)) to the treatment tank (11) until reaching a prescribed level. (c) An admixture obtained by mixing the dehydrating agent by the process of (a) and the intermediate agent by the process of (b) is transferred from the treatment tank (11) to an admixture tank (14).

主权项

1. A tissue piece treating apparatus, comprising:
a treatment tank to contain a tissue piece; a plurality of liquid chemical tanks that is connected communicatably to said treatment tank and stores liquid chemicals; a pump that depressurizes an inside of said treatment tank when a liquid chemical is transferred from said liquid chemical tank communicating with said treatment tank to said treatment tank, and pressurizes the inside of said treatment tank when a liquid chemical is transferred from said treatment tank to said liquid chemical tank communicating with the treatment tank; a detection sensor to detect that a predetermined amount of liquid chemical has been transferred to said treatment tank; and a control unit that is connected to said pump and said detection sensor via respective wirings and carries out a plurality of processes, said plurality of processes including the processes of (a) transferring a dehydrating agent from said liquid chemical tank storing said dehydrating agent to said treatment tank until said dehydrating agent reaches a predetermined amount by use of said detection sensor, (b) transferring an intermediate agent from said liquid chemical tank storing said intermediate agent to said treatment tank until said intermediate agent reaches a predetermined amount by use of said detection sensor, and (c) transferring an admixture obtained by mixing said dehydrating agent by said process (a) and said intermediate agent by said process (b) from said treatment tank to said liquid chemical tank in which said admixture is stored.
