METHOD OF REMOVING FLOATATION LIQUID

摘要

A method of removing a floatation liquid from between a microscope slide and a paraffin embedded biological specimen including position the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon onto a slide support element. The slide support element is rotated to cause the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to move in a way that causes the floatation liquid disposed between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to be removed from between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen.

1. A method of removing a floatation liquid from between a microscope slide and a paraffin embedded biological specimen, the method comprising:
positioning at least one microscope slide with at least one paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon onto a slide support; positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon in a reaction compartment; and spinning the slide support within the reaction compartment so as to cause the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to centrifugally move in a way that causes at least a portion of the floatation liquid disposed between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to be removed from between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen.
