Abstract
Apparatus and methods for automatically staining or treating multiple tissue samples mounted on slides are provided, in which the slides and reagent bottles are held in fixed positions, and the reagent, wash and coverslipping solutions brought to the slides. Alternatively, the slides are held in fixed position, while the reagent, wash and coverslipping solutions are brought to the slides. The apparatus includes a reagent support (1300), nozzle support (1100), and reagent dispensers (1302).
