Abstract
A tissue infiltration apparatus () for specimens present in cassettes (). comprises at least two liquid containers () and a transport apparatus (). A liquid having a definable property is introducible into a liquid container (). Multiple cassettes () are receivable in a transport basket (). The transport apparatus () is configured in such a way that with it, at least two transport baskets () are transportable in the tissue infiltration apparatus (). A transport basket () is deliverable to a liquid container () and/or movable away from a liquid container () with the transport apparatus (). An execution sequence () in which the transport baskets () pass through the liquid containers () of the tissue infiltration apparatus () is definable. To enable accelerated or preferred processing of a transport basket () with the tissue infiltration apparatus (), but without using an additional liquid container provided only for that purpose, at least one means () is provided with which the order of two transport baskets () is definably modifiable.
