Abstract
A method and apparatus for specimen slide (710) preparation is disclosed. Th e method and apparatus of the present invention uses slide trays (700) that ha ve receptacles for at least one specimen slide (710) and an associated reagent park (720). The specimen slide (710) and/or reagent pack (720) includes an identifier (420) that specifies a particular slide preparation protocol that should be followed. The method and apparatus reads the identifier (420) to determine the particular slide preparation protocol and then prepares the specimen slide according to the particular slide preparation protocol. The apparatus may obtain some or all of the reagents needed for the particular slide preparation protocol from the reagent pack (400).
Claims (27)
