Abstract:
At least some embodiments of the technology are directed to an automated slide processing apparatus configured to apply at least one reagent to a specimen carried by a microscope slide. The slide processing station can include a support element with a support surface, at least one vacuum port, and a sealing member having a non-round shape. In an uncompressed state, the sealing member can extend upwardly beyond the support surface. In a compressed state, the sealing member can be configured to maintain an airtight seal with a backside of the microscope slide as the microscope slide is pulled against the support surface by a vacuum drawn via the at least one vacuum port.

Claim (Index 9):
The automated slide processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing member in a compressed configuration is positioned on one side of a plane in which a backside surface of the microscope slide is located when the microscope slide is pulled against the support surface, and the sealing member in an uncompressed configuration is located on both sides of the plane.
