Abstract:
The automated slide dropping system ( 100 ) includes components and subcomponents such as a multi-tube holder alloy metal rack ( 708 ) that permits the inclusion of more than one patient sample at a time; an angularly adjustable slide holder ( 702 ) divided into partitions; a 96-pipette tips or pipetting system plate ( 704 ) (instead of traditional bulb pipettes); a multiple-axis robotic arm ( 736 ); and a PC control unit and appropriate software. A liquid handling system ( 104 ) and a humidity/temperature controller ( 116 ) ( 118 ) are likewise provided as part of the testing system.

Claim (Index 1):
An automated slide dropping system for use in genetic testing systems, comprising:\n a platform disposed in a climate-controlled housing; a humidity controller disposed in the climate-controlled housing; a temperature controller disposed in the climate-controlled housing; a slide deck tray and adjustably tilted partitioned slide holders, forming, in combination, a liquid handling unit disposed on the platform; an X-Y-Z axes robotic arm including X-Y-Z servo-motors disposed on the platform; a syringe attached to the X-Y-Z axes robotic arm; a tip adapter attached to the X-Y-Z axes robotic arm, the tip adapter being in operable communication with the syringe; a liquid rack forming a buffer block disposed adjacent to the slide deck tray; a tip rack disposed adjacent to the slide deck tray; a tip drop and waste block disposed along an edge of the platform; a pipette tip waste chute extending at a downward angle from the tip drop and waste block; a probe rack disposed between the adjustably tilted slide holders and the tip drop and waste rack; and a system liquid tank disposed on the platform and in operable communication with the syringe.
