发明名称 Method and apparatus for safety-compliant emptying and filling of a reagent container
摘要 An apparatus for safety-compliant emptying and filling of a reagent container (24, 40) for a tissue processor (20) comprises a suction line (30, 42) for aspirating a reagent out of the reagent container (24, 40) and a delivery line (32, 44) for filling the reagent container (24, 40) with the reagent, a terminating opening (31, 43) of the suction line (30, 42) being spaced away from a terminating opening (33, 45) of the delivery line (32, 44).

主权项 1. An apparatus for safety-compliant emptying and filling of a reagent container (24, 40) for a tissue processor (20), comprising: a suction line (30, 42) for aspirating a reagent out of the reagent container (24, 40), the suction line (30, 42) having a terminating opening (31, 43); a delivery line (32, 44) for filling the reagent container (24) with the reagent, the delivery line (32, 44) having a plurality of terminating openings (33, 45); the terminating opening (31, 43) of the suction line (30, 42) being spaced away from at least one of the plurality of terminating openings (33, 45) of the delivery line (32, 44); a system line (28, 34, 36) for communication with a process chamber (22) of the tissue processor (20); and a valve unit (26, 38) communicating with the system line (28, 34, 36); wherein the valve unit (26, 38) in a first valve setting enables communication between the system line (28, 34, 36) and the suction line (30, 42) and suppresses communication between the system line (28, 34, 36) and the delivery line (32, 44), and wherein the valve unit (26, 38) in a second valve setting enables communication between the system line (28, 34, 36) and the delivery line (32, 44) and suppresses communication between the system line (28, 34, 36) and the suction line (30, 42).
