TISSUE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A tissue treatment apparatus and method for treating biologic tissue has a controller, an enclosure, a reagent supply system, a draining configuration, and a gas relief valve is controlled by the controller. Optionally provided is a gas evacuation assembly, a gas supply unit, a thermal unit for heating or cooling reagents or gases, a sonication unit, any or each operated by the controller. The method provides for programming controller to effect a treatment procedure. In an embodiment of the present application the tissue sample is bone material and the treatment procedure effects demineralization of the bone material

1. An apparatus for processing a biologic tissue sample, the apparatus comprising:
a controller; an enclosure defining a reaction chamber for accepting the tissue sample; a reagent supply system configured to receive at least one reagent and to dispense said at least one reagent into said reaction chamber in response to said controller; a gas evacuation assembly communicated to said reaction chamber and configured to pump gas from said reaction chamber in response to said controller; a draining assembly communicated to said reaction chamber and configured to drain fluid from said reaction chamber in response to said controller; and a signal transmission system functionally interconnecting said controller with said reagent supply system, said gas evacuation assembly, and said draining assembly.
