<p>An automatic equipment allows processing microscope slides for staining biological specimens with IFA, IF, immunoperoxidase, immunoistological staining and other techniques entailing procedures of reagent dispensing and microscope slide washing to allow immunological and other reactions. Said equipment comprises a washing and staining group (5) that may comprise either a collecting tray (20) for the residual liquids, a slide holding tray (21) and a sealing tray (22) or, in the alternative, a tray acting as both collecting tray for the residual liquids and slide holding tray and a sealing tray (22). The sealing tray is made to co-operate, under the control of a control unit of the equipment, with an upper face of the slide holding tray (21) in order to define on said face a plurality of reagent application areas and make them liquid-tight with respect to the adjacent areas. <IMAGE></p> |
