When creating an embedding block for the pathological sample used in the pathological tissue sample management system before returning the product, it relates to a burr-free embedding plate, embedding frame, cassette, and embedding method for the pathological tissue sample It is.

また本発明者の先願に係る特願 2 0 0 1— 1 0 5 0 0 9におけるバリの発生 しない病理組織試料用カセット以外の従来の形状のカセットを用いても、 前記 病理組織試料を薄切りする前の状態の病理組織試料の包埋プロックを形成する 際、 該包埋プロックにバリが発生しないようにして、 前記薄切り時の切片の厚 さを均一にして、 病理検査の精度を高めようと十るものであると共に、 従来の 包埋作業工程では包埋皿の構造上従来のカセット周囲にバリが発生して、 それ をナイフや熱にて該バリを排除しているので、 そのバリ取り作業を無くし合理 化することと、 この従来の包埋皿の包埋法による従来のカセットのバリ取り作 業の際に生じる、 カセット周囲に記載印字された試料データ面が損傷して包埋 ブロック作製後に試料データの読み取りを困難にすることを防止するものであ る。 背景技術  Further, even when a cassette having a conventional shape other than the cassette for pathological tissue samples in which no burrs are generated in Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-1509 of the inventor's prior application is used, the pathological tissue sample is sliced. When forming an embedding block of a pathological tissue sample in a state before the embedding, a burr is not generated on the embedding block, the thickness of the section at the time of the thin section is made uniform, and the accuracy of the pathological examination is improved. In the conventional embedding work process, burrs are generated around the conventional cassette due to the structure of the embedding dish, and the burrs are removed with a knife or heat. Eliminating and streamlining the work of removing the sample and embedding the sample data surface printed around the cassette, which occurs during the deburring operation of the conventional cassette using this conventional method of embedding the embedded tray, Read sample data after making block Ru Der things to prevent it difficult to Ri. Background art

従来、 この種の作業に於いては、 臨床医によって各患者から採取された病理 組織試料を、 各患者名またはその他のデータの記載されたラベル等を貼られた 容器に収納して、 各患者の属性と臨床診断や所見等が記載された検査依頼書と 一緒にして、 それらを郵送ゃメッセンジャ一等の適宜の手段で移送している。 臨床医から離れた場所の病理検査側に移送されてきた上記の容器に収納され ている各患者の検体試料を、 そこで病理医が病理診断する為の標本作製作業前 の患者検体の受付 'エントリ一時にその患者試料容器と一緒に添付されてきて V、る病理診断検査依頼書と、 各患者の名前と依頼内容と病理組織試料の状況等 を照合して、 その病理組織試料がその依頼書の患者のものであることを確認す る。 Conventionally, in this type of work, a clinician stores a histopathological tissue sample from each patient in a container with a label, etc., bearing the name of each patient or other data. They are sent together with the test request that describes the attributes and clinical diagnosis and findings, etc., and are transported by appropriate means such as mailing or messenger. The specimen sample of each patient stored in the above-mentioned container transferred to the pathological examination side at a location away from the clinician is accepted there before patient specimen preparation work for pathological diagnosis by the pathologist 'entry The pathological diagnosis test request form, which is attached together with the patient sample container at one time, is compared with the name of each patient, the contents of the request, the status of the pathological tissue sample, etc. Make sure it belongs to the patient.

その後、 前記受付,エントリ一時に於いて臨床医の病理組織試料採取時の各 患者の患者 I D番号やカルテ番号にも患者検体の集配員またはメッセンジャー の検体受領時の病理組織試料照合乱数番号にも関係しない、 連続スペック番号 かサンプル番号で新しくその患者試料番号が記載された別のカセット (約 3 0 年以上前にァメリカで開発された試料処理籠兼試料包埋プロック枠状基体でミ クロトームにワンタッチで脱着できるシステム化の為に、 そのアダプターに嵌 合する為の大きさ外法は約 4 0 X 2 8 X 6匪に成っていてこの外法の位置にァ ダプターの係止爪が嵌合してカセット枠状基体を固定している。 全てのカセッ トはこの位置を持っている。 ) にトリミングされたその患者の前記病理試料を 収納して、 その後標本作製のための薬液処理を行い、 各全ての試料をピンセッ ト等で摘んで包埋皿の底部に移して包埋剤で包埋してカセット枠状基体からな る台木 (基台) に付け、 その包埋剤の凝固後に形成する包埋カセットブロック の基台であるカセット枠状基体の周囲にできる包埋剤の余分なバリを削り排除 して包埋カセットプロック試料を完成する。  After that, at the time of the reception and entry, the clinician's patient ID number and chart number at the time of collection of histopathological tissue samples, as well as the pathological tissue sample collation random number at the time of patient sample collection / delivery or messenger sample reception. Unrelated, another cassette with the patient's sample number listed in a serial specification number or sample number (a microtome with a sample processing basket and sample embedding block frame base developed in America more than 30 years ago) For systematization that can be attached and detached with one touch, the size to fit into the adapter is about 40 x 28 x 6 marauder, and the locking claw of the adapter fits in the position of this foreign law All cassettes have this position.) The above-mentioned pathological sample of the patient, which has been trimmed, is stored in After processing, all samples are picked up with tweezers, etc., transferred to the bottom of the embedding dish, embedded with an embedding agent, and attached to a base made of a cassette frame-shaped substrate. The embedding cassette block sample is completed by removing and removing excess burrs of the embedding agent formed around the cassette frame-shaped substrate which is the base of the embedding cassette block formed after the solidification of the embedding cassette block.

また、 前記先願の特願 2 0 0 1 - 1 0 5 0 0 9のバリの発生しない病理組織 試料用カセットとその包埋皿を用いた包埋方法では、 発明者の出願済みの上側 に開口部を形成し、 その下側に底面外周面より少ない面積にて突設した多孔支 持底板を形成した枠状基体からなるカセット底部を使用して、 その専用のバリ 無し包埋皿を併用すればバリ無し包埋プロック試料はできる。  Further, the embedding method using the pathological tissue sample cassette without burrs and the embedding plate of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-110509, which is described in Japanese Patent Application No. Use the cassette bottom consisting of a frame-shaped substrate with an opening formed and a perforated support bottom plate projecting below the outer peripheral surface of the bottom with a smaller area than the outer peripheral surface. This will produce a burr-free embedded block sample.

しかし、 従来のカセットの多くには底面外周面より少ない面積にて突設した 上記多孔支持底板が無く、 カセットの試料番号 (連続スペック番号やサンプル 番号) 等の印字プリンタ一も多くはその形状に合わせた使用に成っている。 However, many of the conventional cassettes do not have the above-mentioned porous support bottom plate protruding with an area smaller than the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface. Most of the printing printers (numbers, etc.) are used according to their shapes.

勿論、 突設した多孔支持底板を持つカセット底部用の印字プリンターを作製 したり、 開口部や多孔支持底板を工夫加工して既成の印字プリンター使用に合 わせることもできるが、 大多数の既成印字プリンター使用に合う従来のカセッ ト底部を用いたバリ無し包埋皿は無い。  Of course, a print printer for the bottom of the cassette with a protruding porous support bottom plate can be manufactured, or the opening and the porous support bottom plate can be modified to suit the use of existing print printers. There is no burr-free embedding dish using a conventional cassette bottom that is compatible with print printers.

このブロック試料を薄切してスライドグラスに切片を伸展して貼付し、 乾燥 後脱包埋剤 (脱パラフィン) して染色及ぴ封入して染色スライド標本を作製し、 それを病理医がそれら各患者の標本試料と依頼書データと既往歴データとを照 合して病理診断して、 臨床医に病理診断報告を行うものである。  The block sample is sliced, the section is stretched and attached to a slide glass, dried, then de-embedded (deparaffinized), stained and enclosed to prepare a stained slide specimen, which is then examined by a pathologist. The pathological diagnosis is made by comparing the sample of each patient with the request form data and the medical history data, and a pathological diagnosis report is made to the clinician.

この発明の目的は、 臨床医の各患者からの採取した生検試料を含む病理組織 検体試料の採取時から病理診断報告完了時迄の間の作業において、 それらの各 患者の検体試料データ (採取試料と依頼書データと既往歴データ) の紛失や混 入及ぴ、 入れ替わりの人為的なミスによる危険性を無くし、 またそのような間 違いが生じた場合はその事後でも、 何処でトラブルが発生したかを明確にして、 その責任の所在を明らかにすることである。  An object of the present invention is to provide a clinician with a procedure for collecting pathological tissue sample samples including biopsy samples collected from each patient from the time of collection to the completion of a pathological diagnosis report. Eliminates the danger of loss or intrusion of the sample, request form data, and past history data), and the risk of human error in replacement, and if such a mistake occurs, trouble can occur anywhere after that And clarify where the responsibility lies.

また、 上述の作業工程に於いて、 人為的な単純なミスで、 回復不可能な大き な問題になるトラブルを無くす為に人的作業を短縮若しくは省略して、 自動化 及ぴ機械化による管理と監視をできる作業工程を増やすことである。  In the above-mentioned work process, human work is shortened or omitted in order to eliminate troubles that can be a major problem that cannot be recovered by simple human error, and management and monitoring by automation and mechanization Is to increase the number of work steps that can be performed.

その為に、 既に発明者によって発明出願されている固定移送容器の外部や力 セットの窓口を通して多孔皿の外部からその中に収納されている病理組織試料 が観察確認できるマクロ画像とそれらの試料が臨床側での採取時に記載され附 された患者認識データ (患者属性や患者 I Dや患者カルテ番号等) と病理側で の受付整理番号とで、 臨床側の患者からの試料採取とその臨床データを含む病 理診断検査依頼書データの記載と病理診断依頼提出時から病理検査試料の受 領 ·搬送 ·受付,切り出し仕分け ·薬液処理 ·包埋 ·標本作製 ·既往歴検索 · 病理診断■データ管理保管■病理報告書発行終了までの全ての作業行程におい て、 統一的に管理使用することである。 その為には、 前記カセット内の試料のマクロ画像の観察確認の他に各患者デ ータを確実にカセット試料と連結関連づける試料データ番号やバーコ一ドゃニ 次元データコード等の手段が必要であつたが、 従来の包埋ブロック作製法では カセット基体のバリ取り作業中にデータ記載面を傷付け機械的な自動読み取り ができなかったので、 臨床側からの患者データを病理標本作製行程側にそのま ま導入できずにいた。 この患者試料データ もあるブロック試料データの記載 面を確実に守ることである。 For this purpose, macro images and pathological tissue samples that can be observed and confirmed from outside the perforated dish through the window of the fixed transfer container or through the window of the force set, which have already been filed by the inventor, can be obtained. The patient identification data (patient attributes, patient ID, patient chart number, etc.) written and attached at the time of collection on the clinical side and the reception reference number on the pathology side collect the sample from the clinical patient and the clinical data. Receipt of pathological diagnosis test request data and receipt of pathological test sample from submission of pathological diagnosis request ・ Conveyance ・ Reception and cut-out sorting ・ Drug processing ・ Embedding ・ Specimen preparation ・ History search ・ Pathological diagnosis ■ Data management and storage ■ It must be managed and used in a unified manner throughout the entire work process until the end of issuance of the pathological report. For that purpose, in addition to the observation and confirmation of the macro image of the sample in the cassette, a means such as a sample data number or a bar code and a three-dimensional data code for securely associating each patient data with the cassette sample is required. However, with the conventional method of preparing an embedded block, the data writing surface was damaged during the deburring operation of the cassette base and mechanical automatic reading was not possible, so patient data from the clinical side was transferred to the pathological sample preparation side. It could not be introduced. This patient sample data also has to ensure that the written surface of the block sample data is protected.

その為には従来のバリ無し包埋皿とその包埋方法では、 カセットの上側に開口 部を形成しアダプター嵌合部でもある枠状基体の下側の底面外周面より少ない 面積にて突設した多孔支持底板の側面と該多孔支持底板より広い前記枠状基体 の底面外周面の交差凹状部面に前記パリ無し包埋皿の開口内周面と包埋皿開口 外周壁と内周壁間の面の交差凸状部面で多孔支持底板をその底面積より少ない 面積にて突設した枠状基体底部と包埋皿内周を水密に嵌合させているが、 この 突設部が従来の多くのカセット印字機での印字や従来の包埋皿で包埋する時に 邪魔になっている。 発明の開示  For that purpose, in the conventional burr-free embedding dish and its embedding method, an opening is formed on the upper side of the cassette, and it is protruded with a smaller area than the outer peripheral surface of the bottom of the frame base that is also the adapter fitting part The inner peripheral surface of the paris-free embedding dish and the inner peripheral wall of the embedding dish opening are formed at the intersection concave portion surface of the side surface of the porous support bottom plate thus formed and the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface of the frame-shaped substrate wider than the porous support bottom plate. The bottom of the frame-shaped base, in which the porous support bottom plate protrudes with an area smaller than the bottom area on the surface of the crossing convex portion, and the inner periphery of the embedding dish are fitted in a watertight manner. It is a hindrance when printing on many cassette printers or embedding in conventional embedding dishes. Disclosure of the invention

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

この発明は包埋皿 5 9の開口部 2aの周縁外側に、 四角形の病理試料用カセッ トの外側面 1 5と水密に嵌合するための水密枠 1 4を一体的に高さ方向に突設 する病理試料用バリ無し包埋皿である。 According to the present invention, a watertight frame 14 for watertight fitting with the outer surface 15 of a rectangular pathological sample cassette is integrally protruded in the height direction outside the periphery of the opening 2a of the embedding dish 59. Setting 7 is an embedding dish without burrs for a pathological sample.

また包埋皿 5 9の開口部 2aの周縁外側に、 四角形の病理試料用カセットの全 外周面 1 l aと水密に嵌合するための四角形の水密枠 1 4を一体的に突設する病 理試料用パリ無し包埋皿である。  In addition, a rectangular watertight frame 14 is integrally protruded outside the peripheral edge of the opening 2a of the embedding dish 59 to fit tightly with the entire outer peripheral surface 1la of the rectangular pathological sample cassette. It is an embedding dish without a sample paris.

更に包埋皿 5 9の四角形の開口部 2aの周縁外側における三方に、 四角形の病 理試料用カセットの三方の外周面 1 l aと水密に嵌合する水密枠 1 4を一体的に 突設すると共に、 前記四角形の開口部 2aの周縁における残る一方に該病理試料 用カセットの多孔底面外側 10bと水密に嵌合するための水密上端 4を上向きに形 成する病理試料用バリ無し包埋皿である。  In addition, a watertight frame 14 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the rectangular opening 2a of the embedding dish 59 with the watertight frame 14 which is fitted watertightly with the outer peripheral surface 1la of the three sides of the rectangular disease sample cassette. At the same time, on the other side of the periphery of the rectangular opening 2a, a burrs-free embedding plate for pathological samples for upwardly forming a watertight upper end 4 for watertight fitting with the outer bottom surface 10b of the pathological sample cassette in a watertight manner. is there.

また更に述べればこの発明は、 この発明者の先願に係る前記バリ無しカセット 枠状基体 1 1はその多孔底面外側 1 O b下側に該多孔底面外側 1 O b より少ない 面積にて突設した多孔支持底板 1 3の外周面 1 3 a と包埋皿の内周面 7が水密に 嵌合して且つ該バリ無しカセット枠状基体 1 1の外周面 1 l a と包埋皿の外周面 ( 8 )とが殆ど一致する包埋皿とからなる病理組織試料の包埋ブロック用形成器具 であった。  Still further, the present invention provides the above-mentioned inventor, wherein the burr-free cassette frame-like substrate 11 according to the prior application of the present invention protrudes below the porous bottom outside 1 Ob with a smaller area than the porous bottom outside 1 Ob. The outer peripheral surface 13 a of the perforated support bottom plate 13 and the inner peripheral surface 7 of the embedding dish 7 are fitted in a watertight manner and the outer peripheral face 1 la of the burr-free cassette frame base 11 and the outer peripheral face of the embedding dish (8) was an embedding dish forming device for an embedding block, comprising an embedding dish almost identical to that of (8).

しかし、 現在多くのカセットの自動印字プリンターでバーコードや二次元デ ータコードやサンプルナンバーや患者名等の患者データを印字するにはカセッ トの枠状基体部の底面外周面より少ない面積にて突設した多孔指示底板が邪魔 になる。  However, in order to print barcodes, two-dimensional datacodes, sample numbers, patient names, and other patient data with many cassette automatic printing printers, the area is smaller than the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface of the frame base of the cassette. The perforated indicator bottom plate that has been set is in the way.

その為には従来の形状のカセットと同様または殆ど類似していて、 既成の力 セットの自動印字プリンターにセットして印字できて、 且つ従来の全ての包埋 皿でも包埋可能であり、 このカセットの枠状基体に専用の包埋器具ゃ包埋皿で 包埋するとバリが付かない包埋皿を発明作製すると非常に便利で且つコストの 削減及び自動化がより進むことになる。  For this purpose, it is similar or almost similar to the cassette of the conventional shape, it can be set and printed on the automatic printing printer of the existing force set, and it can be embedded in all the conventional embedding trays. If an embedding dish that does not have burrs when embedding it in the frame-shaped substrate of the cassette with a dedicated embedding device—embedding dish is invented, it will be very convenient, and cost reduction and automation will be further advanced.

さらにまた、 そのカセットの枠状基体と包埋器具を統一兼用すると包埋器具 をカセットの一部と統合でき、 より作業工程とコストの削減ができ、 自動化が より進むことになる。 故に、 患者試料の取り間違えや混入や紛失等のトラブル が無くなる。 Furthermore, if the frame base of the cassette and the embedding device are also used in common, the embedding device can be integrated with a part of the cassette, thereby reducing the work process and cost, and further increasing automation. Therefore, troubles such as mistaking, mixing or loss of patient samples Disappears.

その為には、 従来のバリ無しカセット枠状基体 1 1の多孔底面外側 1 O bから 狭い面積で突設した多孔支持底板が無くともバリ無し包埋カセットプロックを 作製する為に、 カセット枠状基体と包埋皿の水密シール面の凹凸面を逆にして カセット枠状基体の枠状基体の外周面 1 l aと多孔底面外側 1 O b周囲を水密面 として利用することである。  For this purpose, a conventional burrs-free cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is used to create a burrs-free embedded cassette block even if there is no porous support bottom plate protruding in a small area from the outer bottom 1 Ob of the porous bottom of 1 The outer peripheral surface 1 la of the frame-shaped substrate of the cassette frame-shaped substrate and the outer periphery 1 Ob of the porous bottom surface are used as a water-tight surface by reversing the uneven surface of the water-tight sealing surface of the substrate and the embedding dish.

その為には、 そのバリ無し包埋皿から包埋された包埋プロックの基台である カセット枠状基体を取り出す手段として、 パリ無し包埋皿 5 9の水密枠 1 4の 高さをカセット枠状基体の外壁外周面 1 l aより低くすることである。  For this purpose, the height of the watertight frame 14 of the Paris-free embedding dish 59 is used as a means to take out the cassette frame-shaped substrate, which is the base of the embedded embedding block, from the burr-free embedding dish. This is to make the outer peripheral surface of the outer wall of the frame base lower than 1 la.

または、 そのパリ無し包坦皿から包埋された包埋プロックであるカセット枠 状基体を取り出す手段として、 バリ無し包埋皿 5 9の 1辺の水密枠 1 4を無く しカセット枠状基体の取り出し部にすることである。  Alternatively, as a means for taking out the cassette frame-shaped substrate which is an embedding block embedded from the paris-free packaging plate, the watertight frame 14 on one side of the burr-free embedded plate 59 is removed and the cassette frame-shaped substrate is removed. It is to be a take-out part.

または、 そのバリ無し包埋皿から包埋された包埋プロックであるカセット枠 状基体を取り出す手段として、 バリ無し包埋皿 5 9の底面を取り除いて水密枠 1 4を備えた皿ではないパリ無し包埋枠 1 9を成形して底面は包埋時に板を底 に付けて使用する。 勿論、 底は直ぐ外せるので包埋カセットプロックは下から 押し出せる。  Alternatively, as a means to remove the cassette frame-shaped substrate, which is an embedded embedding block, from the burr-free embedding dish, remove the bottom surface of the burr-free embedding dish 59 and remove the bottom of the paris that is not a dish with a watertight frame 14. No embedding frame 19 is molded and the bottom is used with the plate attached to the bottom when embedding. Of course, the bottom can be easily removed, so the embedded cassette block can be pushed out from below.

その上にまた、 バリ無し包埋皿 5 9に底が無くなりバリ無し包埋枠 1 9に成 るならば、 収納皿されたカセット枠状基体の上下には薬液通過の邪魔になる底 がなく周囲に枠だけがあるのでカセット枠状基体 1 1とバリ無し包埋枠 1 9と を始めから一緒にしてしまえば、 試薬処理の籠の役目と包埋皿の役目とプロッ ク基台としての役目の 3役の機能を一つに纏めて且つそれら作業工程の短縮や 試料の紛失混入の防止にもなるし、 カセット枠状基体 1 1をより薄くすること が可能になることである。  In addition, if the bottom of the burr-free embedding dish 59 is eliminated and the burr-free embedding frame 19 is formed, there is no bottom above and below the cassette frame-shaped substrate in which the burr is stored, which obstructs the passage of the chemical solution. Since there is only a frame around the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 and the burr-free embedding frame 19 from the beginning, the role of the reagent processing basket, the role of the embedding plate and the block base as a block base The functions of the three roles are combined into one, and the work steps can be shortened, the sample can be prevented from being lost and mixed, and the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 can be made thinner.

始めからカセット枠状基体 1 1をバリ無し包埋枠 1 9に収納して、 一体の包 埋皿カセットとして使用できるならば、 該枠状基体 1 1を外さないで包埋作業 ができるように該枠状基体 1 1の多孔底面 1 0に窓口 2 2を成形することであ る。 If the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is stored in the burial-free embedding frame 19 from the beginning and can be used as an integral embedding dish cassette, the embedding operation can be performed without removing the frame-shaped substrate 11. A window 22 is formed on the porous bottom surface 10 of the frame-shaped substrate 11. You.

その上に、 始めから包埋枠 1 9に収納されたカセット枠状基体 1 1の多孔底 面 1 0に窓口 2 2があるならば、 カセット枠状基体の脱着なしに包埋作業がで きるので、 出願者が既に特許出願している包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6と一緒にこ れらの病理組織処理力セット器具を用いると包埋作業の自動化も可能になって くる。  On top of that, if there is a window 22 on the porous bottom surface 10 of the cassette frame-like substrate 11 housed in the embedding frame 19 from the beginning, embedding work can be performed without removing the cassette frame-like substrate. Therefore, if these pathological tissue treatment force setting instruments are used together with the embedding gel fixing support material 46 which the applicant has already applied for a patent, the embedding operation can be automated.

図 1の (A) ( B ) に示す如く、 従来のカセット枠状基体 1 1を該包埋皿の開 口部 2 aの水密面のない支持部 2に載せ、 包埋剤 3 2を該従来のカセットの多孔 底面 1 0に注いで包埋プロックを作製する為に、 そのブロック試料のカセット 枠状基体 1 1周囲にバリ 5 7が発生する。  As shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B), a conventional cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is placed on a support 2 having no watertight surface of an opening 2a of the embedding dish, and an embedding agent 32 is placed on the support. In order to produce an embedding block by pouring into the porous bottom surface 10 of the conventional cassette, burrs 57 are generated around the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 of the block sample.

それに対して図 2〜図 4の包埋皿は多孔支持底板 1 3が従来の他のカセット 枠状基体 1 1の多孔底面外側 1 O bより狭い面積で下向きに突設されている為に、 その多孔支持底板 1 3の外周面 1 3 aとその外周のカセット枠状基体 1 1の底面 外側 1 O bとの凹状 2角面とバリ無し包埋皿の内周面 7と上端面 4との凸状 2角 面とで水密に嵌合することによってプロック試料のカセット周囲にバリ 5 7は 発生しない。  On the other hand, in the embedding dishes of FIGS. 2 to 4, the porous support bottom plate 13 is projected downward with a smaller area than the porous bottom outer surface 1 Ob of the other conventional frame-shaped base material 11, The concave surface of the outer peripheral surface 13 a of the porous support bottom plate 13 and the outer surface of the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 a of the outer surface 1 1 Ob, the inner peripheral surface 7 of the embedding dish without burrs 7 and the upper end surface 4 No burrs 57 occur around the cassette of the block sample due to the watertight fit with the convex two-sided surface of the block.

しかし、 その水密面はカセット側の凸状 2角面とパリ無し包埋皿の凹状 2角 面で水密に嵌合しても同じ効果が有ることは自明なことである。  However, it is obvious that the same effect can be obtained even if the watertight surface is fitted watertight between the convex diagonal surface on the cassette side and the concave diagonal surface of the paris-free embedding dish.

そこで本発明者は図 5〜図 9に示す如くの形状の包埋皿 5 9にするとその発 明者によって既に出願されている図 2〜図 4の前記カセット枠状基体 1 1の多 孔底面外側 1 O bより狭い面積で下向きに突設された多孔支持底板 1 3がなくと も従来のカセットの形状でもパリ無し包埋皿の水密嵌合部の形状は凹凸が逆に はなるが同じ効果を得ることができることに着目した。  The inventor of the present invention made an embedding dish 59 having a shape as shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 and made the multi-hole bottom surface of the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 of FIGS. 2 to 4 already filed by the inventor. Even if there is no porous support bottom plate 13 protruding downward with an area smaller than the outside 1 Ob and the conventional cassette shape, the shape of the watertight fitting part of the embedding dish without paris is the same, although the shape is reversed. We focused on the effect that can be obtained.

この該カセット枠状基体 1 1の形状は種々に作製でき、 図 3〜図 1 0の如く に従来の台形や箱形だけではなく倒立台形 (図 3右) の形状でもパリ無し包埋 できる。 しかし、 この包埋皿の場合は、 包埋ブロックを該バリ無し包埋皿から 簡単に取り出す為にはカセットの枠状基体 1 1の取り出し部 1 6乃至 1 6 aが必 要になる。 The shape of the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 can be variously manufactured. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 10, not only a conventional trapezoid or box but also an inverted trapezoid (right in FIG. 3) can be embedded without paris. However, in the case of this embedding dish, the take-out part 16 to 16a of the frame 11 of the cassette is necessary in order to easily take out the embedding block from the burr-free embedding dish. It becomes important.

そこで、 図 1 0〜図 1 3に示す如くに図 5乃至図 6と図 9のバリ無し包埋皿 5 9の収容底部 3を取り去り上側開口部 2 aも下側包埋枠開放底部 1 8にも閉鎖 された面がない、 上下の上側開口部 2 aから下側包埋枠開放底部 1 8が開かれた 筒状のバリ無し包埋枠 1 9を成形して、 該カセット枠状基体 1 1の下側包埋枠 開放底部 1 8側に対して同等より狭く該カセット枠状基体外周面 1 l aで囲まれ た枠状基体全底面 1 0より若干狭い面積に絞り込み、 該カセット枠状基体 1 1 の周辺が載り落ち込まない形状に成形された包埋皿上端面 4を持ち、 それより 下の包埋収納部 2 0から包埋枠開放底面 1 8にかけて同等乃至窄まる大きさに 成形して且つその最終下側包埋枠開放底部 1 8の一端に左右或いは上下非対称 になる基準マーク 5を成形して、 その下面に既成の大型の包埋皿乃至は汎用包 埋皿 5 4または一枚の薄いプレートであるバリ無し包埋枠用底板 2 9を敷いて 密閉して、 包埋剤(3 2)を注入してコールドプレート上に移してパラフィン等の 該包埋剤を凝固固化すると、 バリ無し包埋カセットブロック試料を作製するこ とができる。  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the storage bottom 3 of the burr-free embedding dish 59 shown in FIGS. 5 to 6 and 9 is removed, and the upper opening 2 a is also opened to the lower embedding frame opening bottom 18. A cylindrical burrs-free embedment frame 19 having a lower embedment frame open bottom 18 opened from the upper and lower openings 2a without any closed surface, is formed into the cassette frame-shaped base. 1 1 Lower embedding frame Open bottom 18 The outer peripheral surface of the cassette frame-shaped substrate, which is narrower than the 8 side, is narrowed down to an area slightly smaller than the entire bottom surface 10 of the frame-shaped substrate surrounded by 1 la. It has an embedding dish upper end face 4 shaped so that the periphery of the base 11 does not fall and falls down, and is formed to be the same or narrowed from the embedding storage section 20 below it to the embedding frame open bottom face 18 Then, a reference mark 5 which is left-right or vertically asymmetric is formed at one end of the open bottom portion 18 of the final lower embedding frame, and the existing large mark is formed on the lower surface thereof. Embedding dish or general-purpose embedding dish 5 4 or a thin plate, a bottom plate for burial-free embedding frame 29, is laid and sealed, and the embedding agent (32) is injected and placed on the cold plate. Then, when the embedding agent such as paraffin is solidified and solidified, a flashless embedding cassette block sample can be prepared.

さらに、 この形状のパリ無し包埋枠 1 9で包埋ブロック試料を作製すると力 セット枠状基体 1 1の四方を水密にすることができバリが完全に付かない上に、 包埋枠は包埋皿と異なり底部が無く開放されているので、 その底部を上側に押 し出せばバリ無しカセットブロック試料が簡単に取り出せる。 その包埋時の平 面図が図 1 4であり、 カセット枠状基体 1 1の多孔底面 1 0より流動の包埋剤 Furthermore, if an embedding block sample is prepared using the paris-free embedding frame 19 of this shape, the force-setting frame-shaped substrate 11 can be made water-tight on all four sides so that burrs are not completely attached, and the embedding frame is Unlike the filling plate, it has no bottom and is open, so if you push the bottom upward, you can easily remove the cassette block sample without burrs. The plan view of the embedding is shown in Fig. 14, and the embedding agent flowing from the porous bottom surface 10 of the cassette frame base 11

3 2を注ぎ込む。 3 Pour 2 in.

さらにまた、 図 1 5〜図 1 8に示す如くに、 カセット枠状基体の多孔底面部 1 0に窓口 2 2を形成したり該窓口 2 2の周囲に生検試料等の小物試料を分別 収納する為の小部屋 2 3を仕切壁 2 4で区切り形成すると、 前記カセット枠状 基体 1 1をバリ無し包埋枠 1 9に嵌め込んだまま該包埋枠 1 9の下面の既成の 大型の包埋皿乃至は汎用包埋皿 5 4またはバリ無し包埋枠用底板 2 9上の薄切 検査底面に生検試料等を並べて定着させることができ、 バリ無し包埋カセット プロック試料を作製することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, a window 22 is formed in the porous bottom portion 10 of the cassette frame-shaped substrate, and small samples such as a biopsy sample are separately stored around the window 22. When the small room 2 3 for partitioning is formed by partitioning the partition wall 24, the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is inserted into the burial-free embedment frame 19 while the existing large-sized lower surface of the embedment frame 19 is inserted. Embedding dish or general-purpose embedding dish 54 or thin section on bottom plate for embedding frame 29 without burrs A block sample can be made.

さらにまた、 図 1 7〜図 3 1に示す如くに、 カセット枠状基体 1 1をバリ無 し包坦枠内に予め装着しておき、 該枠状基体のカセット開口部 2 1と該バリ無 し包埋枠 1 9の水密枠先端部 1 4 eとを図 1 7または図 1 8と図 2 2から 2 8 の如くに一緒に包埋皿カセット蓋 2 6で閉じ、 且つ該包埋枠 1 9の包埋枠開放 底部 1 8を図 1 9または図 2 0と図 5 0と図 5 1 ( B ) の如くにバリ無し包埋 枠開放底部側蓋 2 7で閉じると、 包埋枠 1 9ごとカセット枠状基体内の試料を 自動固定包埋装置にセットして脱水脱脂透徹浸透の薬液処理を実施することが できる。 この時、 該枠状基体 1 1の多孔底面 1 0に窓口 2 2を形成しないカセ ット底部を使用するのも便利である。 それは、 手術摘出材料には必ずしもその 組織の形状が定まった物ばかりとは限らず、 患部の組織を搔き出す摘出材料 (フ ラグメント試料) も有り、 それらは生検試料の様にカセットの大きな通液孔か ら流れ出る危険性が強く、 また前記生検試料より多くの量の組織片を処理しな くては成らない場合がある。  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 31, the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is previously mounted in the packaging frame without burrs, and the cassette opening 21 of the frame-shaped substrate and the burrs are not mounted. Then, as shown in FIG. 17 or FIG. 18 and FIGS. 22 to 28, the watertight frame tip portion 14 e of the embedding frame 19 is closed together with the embedding tray cassette lid 26, and the embedding frame is closed. 19 Embedding frame open When the bottom 18 is closed with the burr-free embedding frame open bottom side lid 27 as shown in Fig. 19 or Fig. 20 and Fig. 50 and Fig. 51 (B), the embedding frame The sample in the cassette frame-shaped substrate together with the sample 19 can be set in an automatic fixed embedding device, and the chemical treatment of dehydration, degreasing, and penetration can be performed. At this time, it is convenient to use a cassette bottom in which the window 22 is not formed in the porous bottom surface 10 of the frame-shaped base 11. It is not always the case that the surgical extirpated material has a fixed tissue shape, but there are also extirpated materials (fragment samples) that extract the tissue of the affected area, and these are large cassettes like biopsy samples. There is a high risk of flowing out of the through-hole, and it may be necessary to process a larger amount of tissue pieces than the biopsy sample.

このような場合の為に、 図 1 9乃至図 2 0に示すように窓口 2 2のない多孔 底面 1 0の通液孔の小さめな多孔底面 1 0のカセット枠状基体 1 1を形成して おくこともできる。  For such a case, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 20, a cassette frame-like substrate 11 having a porous bottom surface 10 having a small porous passage surface 10 without a window 22 is formed. You can put it.

その上にさらにまた、 図 3 2〜図 4 2とに示す如くに、 発明者が既に特許登 録を取得している形状のカセット枠状基体の形状を応用すると包埋カセットブ 口ック試料の薄さをより薄くすることができる。  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 42, when the inventor applies the shape of the cassette frame-shaped substrate having a patent registration already, the embedding cassette block sample is obtained. The thickness can be made thinner.

この包埋カセットプロック試料の薄切時には図 3 7と図 4 2の如くにコの字 型ミクロトームアダプター用薄型カセット厚さ調整板 3 3 aを該カセット枠状基 体の突条縁 4 0にセットして従来のカセットの外法4 0 X 2 8 X 6 mmの大きさ を確保する。 When the embedded cassette block sample is sliced, the thin cassette thickness adjusting plate 33a for the U-shaped microtome adapter is attached to the protruding rim 40 of the cassette frame base as shown in FIGS. 37 and 42. Set to secure the size of the conventional cassette 40 × 28 × 6 mm.

その上にさらにまた、 図 3 8〜図 4 1に示す如くに、 前記カセット枠状基体 1 1の突条縁 4 0ゃ突設容器下縁部 4 1の形状を同じ方形の大きさに形成し、 その方形の外法を水密に覆う形式で嵌合するカセット蓋とその多孔通液面 6 0 内側近くにバリ無し包埋枠用底板差込口 4 2を持つカセット蓋兼バリ無し包埋 枠 1 9 bを形成すると、 試料の薬液処理後の蓋部であるカセット蓋兼パリ無し包 埋枠 1 9 bを廃棄することなくバリ無し包埋枠用底板差込口 4 2から差込用バリ 無し包埋枠用底板 4 3を差し込み、 カセット蓋兼バリ無し包埋枠 1 9 bを突設容 器下縁部 4 1に嵌合させて包埋皿として使用するとバリ無し包埋カセットプロ ック試料ができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 38 to 41, the ridge 40 of the cassette frame-shaped base 11 is formed in the same rectangular size as the lower edge 41 of the projecting container. Then, the cassette lid and the perforated liquid flowing surface 60 When the cassette lid and burr-free embedding frame 19 b with the bottom plate insertion hole for burr-free embedding frame near the inner side 4 2 are formed, the cassette lid and paris-less embedding frame that is the lid after the sample is treated with the chemical solution Insert the bottom plate for burial-free embedding frame 4 3 from the insertion port 4 2 of the bottom frame for burrs without burrs without discarding 1 9 b. When used as an embedding dish when fitted to the lower edge 41 of the container, a flash-free embedded cassette block sample can be obtained.

この時、 差込用バリ無し包埋枠用底板 4 3の差し抜き操作は取り出し取手部 4 5を持って行う。 また、 カセット蓋兼パリ無し包坦枠 1 9 bの内側の奥の一角 には基準マーク 5が形成されており、 それに当たる部分の差込用パリ無し包埋 枠用底板 4 3には基準マーク用切り込み 4 4が形成されているので、 この包埋 方法で包埋された包埋プロックはバリ無しで基準マーク 5付きの包埋ブロック を作製することができる。  At this time, the operation of inserting and removing the bottom plate 43 for the burial-free embedding frame for insertion is performed by holding the take-out handle portion 45. In addition, a reference mark 5 is formed at the inner corner of the inside of the cassette lid and paris-free packaging frame 19 b, and a fiducial mark is formed on the bottom plate 4 3 for the paris-less embedding frame for insertion. Since the notches 44 are formed, the embedding block embedded by this embedding method can produce an embedding block with the fiducial mark 5 without burrs.

勿論、 この包埋カセットブロックの薄切時にもコの字型ミクロトームァダプ ター用薄型カセット厚さ調整板 3 3 aを使用できる。  Of course, the thin cassette thickness adjusting plate 33a for the U-shaped microtome adapter can be used even when the embedded cassette block is sliced.

さらにまた、 この発明は全形状のカセット枠状基体の凸状 2角面とパリ無し 包埋皿の凹状 2角面で水密に嵌合してパリの発生付着を防止しており、 カセッ ト枠状基体に 2角面が在ればどの位置にでもバリ無し包埋をすることができる。 故に、 そのカセット枠状基体の厚さも変化させることができ、 図 1 1〜図 3 1に示したカセット枠状基体 1 1とバリ無し包埋枠 1 9の厚さを薄くして、 該 カセット枠状基体 1 1をバリ無し包埋枠 1 9にセット嵌合した全体の厚さを従 来のカセット枠状基体の厚さと同等の厚さに成形して包埋機能をその部分に保 持した包埋皿カセット (図 4 9〜図 5 3 ) を実現できた。  Furthermore, the present invention prevents the generation and adhesion of paris by fitting the convex diagonal surface of the cassette frame-shaped base of all shapes and the concave diagonal surface of the paris-free embedding dish in a watertight manner. Burr-free embedding can be performed at any position as long as there is a diagonal surface on the substrate. Therefore, the thickness of the cassette frame-shaped substrate can also be changed, and the thickness of the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 and the burr-free embedding frame 19 shown in FIGS. The entire thickness of the frame-shaped substrate 11 set and fitted to the burrs-free embedding frame 19 is molded to the same thickness as that of the conventional cassette frame-shaped substrate, and the embedding function is retained in that part. The embedding dish cassette (Fig. 49-Fig. 53) was realized.

この時、 図 1 2に示す如くにミクロトーム用アダプターの嵌合時に邪魔にな らない程度に該カセット枠状基体 1 1外側面に該パリ無し包埋枠 1 9のバリ無 し包埋皿水密枠内周面 1 4 aと同じテーパー 1 4 cを付けると完成したバリ無し 包埋カセットブロックを外し取り出し易い。 図 2 3〜図 2 8の包埋皿カセット 蓋 2 6の包埋枠留め羽 2 6 dは包埋枠 1 9の横方向の保持の為にある。 その上にさらにまた、 既に出願人が既に発明出願している包埋ゲル固定支持 剤 4 6を用いて図 4 3〜図 4 8と図 5 2乃至図 5 3に示す如くの (生検試料) 固定移送板 5 5を用いてアルコールホルマリン等のゲル化固定液に漬かってい る図 4 4の固定移送板 5 5の拡大断面図の生検試料 V字谷収納箇所 4 7に生検 試料を採取の順番に収納すると、 図 4 4の生検試料 V字谷収納箇所 4 7の V字 構造に沿って生検試料は一列に整列して、 Π— Πの検查薄切面 (最大薄切検査 面) を得ることができる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the cassette frame-like base body 11 is provided with no burr-free embedding frame 19 on the outer surface of the cassette frame-like base body 19 so as not to be in the way when the microtome adapter is fitted. When the same taper 14 c as the inner peripheral surface 14 a of the frame is attached, the completed flash-free embedded cassette block is easily removed and removed. The embedding tray retainer 26 d of the embedding tray cassette lid 26 of FIGS. 23 to 28 is provided for holding the embedding frame 19 in the lateral direction. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 43 to 48 and FIGS. 52 to 53, a biopsy sample was prepared using the embedded gel-fixing support 46 already applied for by the applicant. 4) Biopsy sample in fixed cross-sectional view of fixed transfer plate 55 in Fig. 44 immersed in a gelling fixative such as alcohol formalin using fixed transfer plate 55 When stored in the order of collection, the biopsy samples are arranged in a line along the V-shaped structure of the biopsy sample V-shaped valley storage location 4-7 in Fig. 4-4. Inspection surface) can be obtained.

これは病理標本作製作業者が包埋時にピンセット等で包埋剤の中の小型生検 試料を浮かせる様に操作して、 最大薄切検査面を得る作業より簡便で精確であ る。  This is simpler and more accurate than the work of preparing a pathological specimen by lifting a small biopsy sample in the embedding medium with tweezers or the like at the time of embedding to obtain the maximum sliced inspection surface.

この生検試料を並べ終わった後に、 V字谷の上から少量の包埋ゲル固定支持 剤 4 6を注ぎ込むと図 4 5の如くに患者名等データ記載箇所 5 3に患者名等デ ータと試料位置番号が記載された、 裏打ち用紙の一辺にゲル化した少量の包埋 ゲル固定支持剤 4 6に保持された複数の生検試料が一纏めにされて一個の試料 として得られる。  After arranging the biopsy samples, a small amount of the embedding gel-fixing support 46 was poured from above the V-shaped valley. A plurality of biopsy samples held by a small amount of embedded gel-fixed support material 46 gelled on one side of the backing paper, on which the sample position number is described, are collected into one sample.

この様に該固定移送板 5 5と包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6を用いると、 複数の生 検試料も一纏めに保持されて前記バリ無し包埋枠 1 9内に収まっている前記力 セット枠状基体 1 1に形成された前記窓口 2 2を通して該カセット枠状基体 1 1を外すことなく包埋作業を完了することができる。  By using the fixed transfer plate 55 and the embedded gel fixing support 46 in this way, a plurality of biopsy samples are collectively held and the force setting frame accommodated in the burr-free embedding frame 19 is provided. The embedding operation can be completed without removing the cassette frame-shaped base 11 through the window 22 formed in the base 11.

この事は、 該包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6と該 (生検試料) 固定移送板 5 5と該 バリ無し包埋皿カセットを用いると包埋作業のオートメーション化の可能性が より大きくなり、 機械的な分野での解決がつけば実現もできるということにな る。  This means that the use of the embedded gel-fixed support 46, the (biopsy sample) fixed transfer plate 55, and the burr-free embedding dish cassette increases the possibility of automation of the embedding operation, If a solution is available in the mechanical field, it can be realized.

更に述べれば図 4 3 (A)はカセット蓋と兼用の (生検試料) 固定移送板 5 5で 図 4 3 (B)はその XXXXBI— XXXXDIの断面図で図 4 4はその拡大図、 図 4 5は その一部である試料裏打ち板 4 9と包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6と試料の断面図と 平面図で、 図 4 6は上記試料裏打ち板 4 9と包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6と試料の 包埋時使用法であり、 図 4 7と図 4 8は (生検試料) 固定移送板 5 5のその他 の形状の実施例である。 More specifically, Fig. 43 (A) is a fixed transfer plate 55 (biopsy sample) also used as a cassette lid. Fig. 43 (B) is a cross-sectional view of the XXXXBI-XXXXDI. 4 5 is a cross-sectional view and a plan view of the sample backing plate 49 and the embedded gel-fixing support material 46, which are part of the sample backing plate.Figure 46 shows the sample backing plate 49 and the embedded gel-fixing support material 4. 6 and the sample Fig. 47 and Fig. 48 are examples of other shapes of the (biopsy sample) fixed transfer plate 55.

さらにまた、 図 4 3〜図 4 6は生検試料 3 1をその位置番号 5 2の順番に生 検試料 V字谷収納箇所 4 7に並べてそこに前記包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6を流し 込み試料裏打ち板 4 9に該生検試料 3 1を定着保持すると、 その該生検試料 3 1の直径の大小に関わらずその該生検試料 3 1は V字谷に跨る様に収まり該生 検試料 3 1の中心が一列に同一直線上に並ぶ。  Further, in FIGS. 43 to 46, the biopsy sample 31 is arranged in the order of the position number 52 in the biopsy sample V-shaped valley storage location 47, and the embedded gel fixing support 46 is poured there. When the biopsy sample 31 is fixedly held on the sample backing plate 49, the biopsy sample 31 fits over the V-shaped valley and is fit regardless of the diameter of the biopsy sample 31. The centers of the test samples 31 are aligned on the same straight line.

このことによって、 該生検試料 V字谷収納箇所 4 7に並んだ該包埋ゲル固定 支持剤 4 6で一つに纏められた該生検試料 3 1は試料包埋薄切面 5 0を包埋皿 収納底部 3またはバリ無し包埋枠用底板 2 9に付けて包埋すれば、 全ての該包 埋ゲル固定支持剤内の該生検試料 3 1は図 4 4から図 4 6に図示する最大面積 Π— Πを一緒に纏めて薄切されることになる。  As a result, the biopsy sample 31 bundled with the embedded gel-fixed support 46 arranged in the V-shaped valley storage location 47 wraps the sample-embedded thin section 50. When embedded and mounted on the bottom plate 3 or the bottom plate 29 for burr-free embedding frames, the biopsy sample 31 in all the embedded gel-fixed supports is shown in Figures 44 to 46. The largest area Π— す る to be cut together will be sliced together.

図 4 3と図 4 4のアルコールホルマリン等の固定液に浸けられた固定移送板 5 5の試料裏打ち板 4 9は厚紙か多孔性の例えばポリビニールアルコール性の 板等が良い。 特に、 ポリビニールアルコール性の試料裏打ち板を用いると患者 データの記載もでき、 図 4 4のピンセット 5 1で試料裏打ち板上に載せられ固 定された生検試料 3 1の病理検査室まで移送される前の、 臨床側の簡便固定と 裏打ち (試料裏打ち箇所 5 6 ) にも使用でき、 その臨床側でのその試料裏打ち 上に従来仕様の容易に載せられ裏打ち固定移送されて来た生検試料を、 病理検 査室で切り出し時にその位置番号 5 2の順番に、 改めて確認観察の上で生検試 料 V字谷収納箇所 4 7にその生検試料を移し並べ換えて薄切することもできる ので図 4 5と図 4 6の如くにそのまま包埋することもできる。  The sample transfer plate 55 of the fixed transfer plate 55 immersed in a fixing solution such as alcohol formalin shown in FIGS. 43 and 44 is preferably made of cardboard or a porous plate such as a polyvinyl alcohol plate. In particular, patient data can be described using a polyvinyl alcohol-based sample backing plate, and the biopsy sample placed and fixed on the sample backing plate with tweezers 51 in Fig. 44 is transferred to the pathology laboratory for the fixed sample 31. It can also be used for simple fixation and lining on the clinical side (sample backing point 56) before being performed, and the biopsy that has been easily placed on the sample backing on the clinical side and fixed and transferred When the sample is cut out in the pathological examination room, the biopsy sample can be transferred to the V-shaped valley storage location 47 after confirming and observing again in the order of position number 52, and rearranged and sliced. Therefore, it can be embedded as it is as shown in Fig. 45 and Fig. 46.

なお図 4 7と図 4 8は固定移送板 5 5のその他の実施例である。 FIGS. 47 and 48 show another embodiment of the fixed transfer plate 55.

この発明を上述の実施形態について説明したが、 その実施形態だけに限定さ れるものでなく、 その実施形態をさらに効果的に実施するための具体的技術手 段を付加したり、 或いはその実施形態を部分的に変更したりすることが可能で あ 。 例えば、 前記のバリ無し包埋皿カセットを使用した場合には、 図 4 6 Aの如 くにカセット枠状基体 1 1をバリ無し包埋枠 1 9から外すことなく、 包埋皿カ セットの蓋 2 6のみを外した後に、 図 4 5に示されている該カセット枠状基体 1 1内の患者名等データや試料位置番号 5 2が記載された試料裏打ち板 4 9に その患者の複数生検試料が包埋ゲル固定支持剤 4 6で一纏めにされている試料 3 1を、 該パリ無し包埋皿カセットの枠状基体 1 1の窓口 2 2から該包埋枠 1 9を載せた汎用包埋皿 5 4やバリ無し包埋枠用底板 2 9の上に移して、 包埋剤 3 2で包埋すれば、 試料の混入や入れ替わりが完全に無くなり、 図 2 9に示す 如くの複数連なる汎用包埋皿 5 4 aで同時包埋が可能になり、 包埋作業の能率化 がより進む。 Although the present invention has been described with respect to the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and specific technical means for more effectively implementing the embodiment may be added, or the embodiment may be modified. Can be partially changed. For example, when the above-mentioned burrs-free embedding dish cassette is used, as shown in FIG. 46A, the cassette frame-shaped substrate 11 is not removed from the burrs-free embedding frame 19, and the lid of the embedding dish cassette is removed. After removing only 26, the patient backing plate 49 with the patient name data and sample position number 52 in the cassette frame base 11 shown in FIG. A sample 31 in which a test sample is bundled with an embedding gel-fixing support material 46 is used for the general purpose in which the embedding frame 19 is placed from the window 22 of the frame-shaped base 11 of the paris-free embedding dish cassette 1 1. If the sample is transferred onto an embedding dish 54 or a bottom plate for embedding frame 29 without burrs and embedded with an embedding agent 32, mixing and replacement of the sample is completely eliminated, and multiple samples as shown in Fig. 29 are obtained. Simultaneous embedding is possible with a series of general-purpose embedding dishes 54a, and the embedding work becomes more efficient.

この発明は上述のとおり、 カセット枠状基体の外周面と底部の交わる凸状 2 角面或いは 1面とバリ無し包埋皿の水密枠と包埋皿上端面の交わる凹状 2角面 或いは 1面とで包埋皿収容底部上の包埋剤がカセット枠状基体の外周面に溢れ 出ない様に水密にカセット枠状基体が包埋皿上端面上の水密枠に嵌合すること を特徴としていて、 その発展形であるバリ無し包埋枠の場合は全周囲の水密枠 の高さがカセット枠状基体の外周面の高さ即ち枠状基体の厚さと同じであって も包埋作業の完成した包埋プロックカセットは枠状基体の包埋枠開放底部を上 に押し出すことで簡単に取り出せるのでバリ無し包埋皿のようなカセット取り 出し部は必要ない。 . As described above, the present invention provides a convex diagonal surface or one surface where the outer peripheral surface of the cassette frame-shaped base intersects with the bottom and a concave diagonal surface or one surface where the watertight frame of the burr-free embedding plate intersects with the upper end surface of the embedding plate. In this way, the cassette frame-shaped base is fitted in a watertight frame on the upper end surface of the embedding dish so that the embedding agent on the bottom of the embedding dish does not overflow onto the outer peripheral surface of the cassette frame-shaped base. However, in the case of the burial-free embedment frame, which is an advanced form of the embedding work, even if the height of the watertight frame around the entire circumference is the same as the height of the outer peripheral surface of the cassette frame-shaped substrate, that is, the thickness of the frame-shaped substrate. The completed embedding block cassette is placed above the open bottom of the embedding frame of the frame-shaped substrate. It can be easily removed by pushing it out, so there is no need for a cassette removal unit such as an embedding dish without burrs. .

そこで、 図 1 7力 ら図 2 0と図 3 8、 図 5 0、 図 5 1に示す如く、 カセット 枠状基体多孔底面とパリ無し包埋枠の開放底部側蓋との間、 またカセット多孔 底面に窓口を成形した場合には包埋皿カセットの蓋とバリ無し包埋枠開放底部 側蓋との間に多孔面で完全に囲まれた空間ができ、 ここを試料の収納部として 使用すると包埋皿カセットとして包埋機能が繰り込まれたカセット出来上がる。 このバリ無し包埋皿及ぴバリ無し包埋枠のパリ無し機能を用!/、るとそのカセ ット枠状基体の厚さをより薄く成形することが可能になり、 特に包埋皿カセッ トを用いると生検試料等の小型試料から手術摘出し切り出しトリミングされた 大型試料に至るまで、 その試料の大きさによって小型試料は薄型カセット枠状 基体内部に収納して、 大型試料はパリ無し包埋枠の試料収納部に収納して固定 脱水脱脂透徹浸透の自動固定包埋装置の薬液処理に掛けることができる。  Therefore, as shown in Fig. 17 and Fig. 20 and Fig. 38, Fig. 50, and Fig. 51, the gap between the bottom of the porous frame base of the cassette and the open bottom side lid of the paris-free embedding frame, When a window is formed on the bottom, there is a space completely surrounded by a porous surface between the lid of the embedding dish cassette and the lid on the bottom of the embedding frame without burrs. A cassette with an embedding function incorporated as an embedding dish cassette is completed. Use the burr-free embedding dish and the burr-free embedding frame without the paris! / In that case, it becomes possible to make the thickness of the cassette frame-shaped substrate thinner. Especially, when using an embedded dish cassette, a large sample that is surgically extracted, cut out and trimmed from a small sample such as a biopsy sample Depending on the size of the sample up to the sample, small samples are stored in a thin cassette frame-shaped substrate, and large samples are stored and fixed in the sample storage section of the paris-less embedded frame. It can be used for chemical treatment of the filling device.

またこの発明の包埋皿カセットは、 カセット枠状基体が始めから包埋枠に装 着されているので包坦時には包埋皿の選択や装着の必要がなく、 図 4 6に示す 如く例えば 1種類の底板 (或いは汎用包埋皿) の上に包埋皿カセットを設置し て包埋皿カセット蓋を開けて多孔底面の窓口から試料の検査薄切面を下の底板 (或いは汎用包埋皿) の上に設置して流動包埋剤を注入して冷却するのみで良 い。  In the embedding dish cassette of the present invention, since the cassette frame-shaped substrate is mounted on the embedding frame from the beginning, there is no need to select or mount the embedding dish when embedding, as shown in FIG. Place the embedding dish cassette on the bottom plate (or general-purpose embedding dish), open the embedding dish cassette lid, and place a thin section of the sample through the window on the porous bottom. All you have to do is put the liquid embedding medium on top and cool it.

また、 このカセット枠状基体は図 3 1、 図 4 2と図 5 1から図 5 3に図示し たように薄くできるので、 薄切時には厚さ調整板に重ねてミクロトームァダプ ターにセットして、 ブロック試料保管収納時には従来のカセット枠状基体より 薄いのでそのプロックカセット試料も薄く収納スペースが少なくて済む。  Also, since the cassette frame-shaped substrate can be made thin as shown in Figs. 31 and 42 and Figs. 51 to 53, it is set on a microtome adapter by laying it on a thickness adjustment plate when slicing. When the block sample is stored and stored, since the block cassette sample is thinner than the conventional cassette frame-shaped substrate, the block cassette sample is also thin and requires less storage space.

また、 カセット枠状基体の形状は、 図 2 2から図 2 8に示す如くに、 従来の 形状にも合わせて形成することができるので、 従来のカセット印字プリンター にも使用可能である。  Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 28, the shape of the cassette frame-shaped substrate can be formed in accordance with the conventional shape, so that it can be used in a conventional cassette printing printer.

また、 包埋ゲル固定支持剤と固定移送板と一緒に用いると、 図 4 3から図 5 3に図示したように、 一切試料に触ることなく複数の生検試料を 1試料として 包埋作業ができ、 小型試料の包埋作業の自動化も可能になった。 勿論、 患者氏 名を固定移送板に記載しておくと後からの確認も確実にできる。 In addition, when used together with the embedded gel fixing support and the fixed transfer plate, As shown in Fig. 3, it was possible to embed multiple biopsy samples as one sample without touching any samples, and it became possible to automate the embedding of small samples. Of course, if the patient's name is written on the fixed transfer plate, later confirmation can be assured.
