Abstract
The present invention relates to a tissue infiltration device () for samples () contained in cassettes (). The tissue infiltration device () comprises at least two liquid containers (-) and a transport apparatus (). A liquid () having a property that can be predetermined can be filled into a liquid container (-). A plurality of cassettes () can be held by a transport device (). Using the transport apparatus (), a transport device () can be brought to a liquid container (-) and/or moved away from a liquid container (-). A sequence of operations () can be prescribed in which a transport device () runs through the liquid containers (-) of the tissue infiltration device (). So that an accelerated or priority processing of a transport device () is possible using the tissue infiltration device (), but without using an additional liquid container (-) provided only for this purpose, it is provided that at least two transport devices () can be brought into a liquid container (-) above and/or next to one another, wherein said transport devices can have different dwell times in the liquid container (-).
