TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for automatically staining or treating multiple tissue samples mounted on microscope slides by using a heating system that has thermal platforms radially mounted to the carousel for heating the slides and sensing the temperature of each.

TL;DR: An automated system for performing slide processing operations on slides bearing biological samples is described in this article, which includes a slide tray holding a plurality of slides in a substantially horizontal position and a workstation that receives the slide tray.

TL;DR: An automated immunostaining apparatus with a reagent application zone and reagent supply zone has been presented in this article with a carousel slide support supporting a plurality of slide supports thereon.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fluid dispenser useful in automated biological reaction systems comprising a barrel having a reservoir chamber, the barrel having an upper portion and a lower portion, a cap located on top of the upper portion of the barrel and connected to the reservoir, the cap having an external surface with at least one hole therethrough, a valve comprising a biasing member and a hole sealer, the valve being located in the hole in the cap at the point where a downward force is applied against the cap, a coupler having a dispense chamber, where the coupler being coaxial

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and a method are described that achieve independent and simultaneous processing of a plurality of substrate supported biological samples, where substrate holders arranged in a minor arc are independently moveable between a processing position and an access position.
