Abstract:
An automated system is provided for performing slide processing operations on slides bearing biological samples. In one embodiment, the disclosed system includes a slide tray holding a plurality of slides in a substantially horizontal position and a workstation that receives the slide tray. In a particular embodiment, a workstation delivers a reagent to slide surfaces without substantial transfer of reagent (and reagent borne contaminants such as dislodged cells) from one slide to another. A method for automated processing of slides also is provided.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the slide processing apparatus includes at least one transporter configured to transport the first slide carrier to and from the stainer workstation and to rotate the first slide carrier to adjust tilt of the specimen-bearing microscope slides.
