Abstract
The disclosed invention provides a cartridge, method and cartridge processing systems for molecular tests that include extracting one or more biological materials from a tissue. The cartridge includes a base having a receptacle inside the base, a lid placed over the receptacle, and a gasket in the base. The base includes a transparent window placed under the receptacle, and the receptacle contains a slide on which the tissue is disposed. A film is disposed on an inner surface of the lid, and the film is suitable to extract the one or more biological materials from the tissue. The gasket surrounds the slide, and the lid creates a sealed chamber around the gasket that encloses the slide, and vacuum suction is applied through a port of the base to press the film against the tissue on the slide.
