Stations designed for treatment of immunohistochemistry specimen slides obtained from tissue processors before staining. These stations provide automated rinsing, deparaffinization, rehydration, and target (e.g., antigenic) retrieval in a computerized unit and associated processing tanks. The stations consist of a computerized unit that includes controls for the solution\'s (e.g., buffer) temperature and running time of the process. The unit may also include dedicated software intended to manage (i.e., run) the process and also to provide electronic reports on the process and associated protocol options. The process is performed in associated (e.g., rinsing) tanks where slide racks are totally or partially immersed. Immunohistochemistry pre-staining stations are intended to provide slide specimens that facilitate further staining consistency.
