Abstract
Tissue samples are prepared for embedding and then embedded within wells of an intermittently rotatable rotor. After each successive liquid is supplied to the sample wells, the rotor is spun in order to slough off liquid from the samples. The sloughed liquid is collected by an outer shroud. The shroud is preferably made fluid tight so that the interior region of the shroud can be communicated to vacuum to force embedding material into the interstices of the tissue samples.
