CA 2536036

A system and method that enables automated reagent dispensing for tissue stainers. The stainers receive staining protocols from a central controller. The central controller may control a plurality of stainers simultaneously. The stainers obtain information provided on slide identifiers which is communicated to the central controller. The central controller determines a particular staining protocol to apply to a particular slide. The staining protocol is downloaded to the stainer which enables the stainer to operate without additional communication with the central controller. A user may manually initiate a staining protocol or the central controller may operate the stainers on a scheduled basis.

La présente description concerne un système et une méthode qui permettent de distribuer automatiquement des réactifs pour des colorants de tissus. Les colorants reçoivent des protocoles de coloration envoyés par un contrôleur central. Le contrôleur central peut contrôler plusieurs colorants simultanément. Les colorants reçoivent les renseignements figurant sur des identificateurs de lame, lesquels renseignements sont transmis au contrôleur central. Le contrôleur central détermine le protocole de coloration spécifique qu'il faut appliquer à une lame donnée. Le protocole de coloration est téléchargé vers le colorant, ce qui permet à ce dernier de fonctionner sans être obligé de communiquer de nouveau avec le contrôleur central. Un utilisateur peut amorcer manuellement un protocole de coloration, ou le contrôleur central peut activer le colorant selon un horaire fixe.
