Claim 14:
15. A method of treating a paraffin embedded biological specimen, comprising:
obtaining a microscope slide having a longitudinal axis and at least one paraffin embedded biological specimen floated onto the microscope slide with a floatation liquid;
positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon on a slide support having a longitudinal axis so the longitudinal axis of the microscope slide is substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the slide support whereby the paraffin embedded specimen is positioned in close proximity to the longitudinal axis of the slide support;
positioning the microscope slide with the paraffin embedded biological specimen floated thereon in a reaction compartment; and
rotating the slide support within the reaction compartment and about the longitudinal axis of the slide support so the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen rotate about the longitudinal axis of the slide support at a rate and for a time period sufficient to cause substantially all the floatation liquid disposed between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen to be removed from between the microscope slide and the paraffin embedded biological specimen.
