Patent ID: 7303729

Claim:
A method for immunological labeling for thin tissue sections, comprising the steps of: a) creating an individual treatment process for the thin tissue sections, which are arranged on a carrier plate that is inserted in a treatment section; b) applying droplets onto a plurality of slides, each of which has multiple depressions for reception of the liquid droplets; c) placing the slides, together with a transport container provided for the slide, in a first station; d) transferring the transport container, together with the slide, from the first station to a treatment section by means of a transport mechanism; e) lifting the transport container, together with the slide, in such a way that the liquid droplets on the slide wet the thin tissue sections on the carrier plate; f) transferring the transport container together with the slide, at a time predetermined by the individual treatment process, to a second station that holds used slides; and g) performing steps d) through f) until all the slides provided in the first station for an individual treatment process have been removed.
