Abstract:
1. A method of reagent delivery in an apparatus for processing biological samples arranged on carrier elements, the apparatus comprising a stationary reagent section having one or more reagent containers and a stationary staining section in which at least one carrier element is arranged, the method comprising: handling movement of a probe via a probe handling device; aspirating a portion of reagent from a reagent container via the probe; dispensing, via the probe, a predetermined amount of reagent on a predetermined carrier element; the probe including a continuous probe tubing extending through a rigid probe member and providing fluid communication from a dispensing end of said probe member to a pneumatic pressure regulation device and wherein the rigid probe member is adapted for cooperation with a closure cap of the reagent container, wherein the continuous probe tubing is provided with a spirally wound probe tubing section.
