AS-410M Auto Slide Preparation System
This chapter contains the following information: System configuration of the AS-410M Auto Slide
Preparation System; Tissue slide preparation process; System specifications; and Components and their
names.
1-1 System overview and configuration
Intended Use:
This System automatically mounts sections of paraffin-embedded human tissue blocks (samples) to
glass slides, which is usually performed manually for the preparation of human tissue sections used for
histopathological diagnosis. It conveniently automates the process from sectioning, transferring, and
mounting of the sections to the slides, then stretching, and drying of the slides. The slides that this
System prepares can be used for histopathological diagnosis after staining.
The Main Unit of the System consists primarily of a 24-Sample Feeding Unit, a Sectioning Unit, a Carrier
Tape Unit, a 100-Slide Feeding Unit, a Slide Transfer Unit, a Mounting Unit, and an Extension Device.
The System is expandable with the following optional units: 6-Sample Feeding Unit; 96-Sample Feeding
Unit; 400-Slide Feeding Unit; 100-Slide Dry Chamber; 400-Slide Dry Chamber; Sample Identification
Unit (barcode printer/ barcode reader); Blade Mark Check Unit; and Auto Trimming (sample surface
image detection) Unit.
This System must be installed with either of the following Dry Chamber (optional
extension unit): 100-Slide Dry Chamber or 400-Slide Dry Chamber.

1-2 Tissue slide preparation process
The tissue slide preparation process consists primarily of the following five steps:
5. Drying
Heat is applied to dry the sections on the slides.
2. Slicing
The sample block is cut with the microtome
blade into tissue sections of a specified
thickness. Sections are attached on-the-fly
to carrier tape.
4. Stretching (extension)
Heat is applied to stretch and dewrinkle the
sections on the slides.

Carrier tape
1. Rough cutting (Trimming)
Sample blocks are trimmed with the
microtome blade to a predetermined depth (*)
until the tissue surface is exposed.
*Two methods are available for rough
cutting: trimming to a parametrically-specified
depth; and automatic trimming (option) until the
predetermined exposed surface ratio of the
tissue (%) is reached. For the latter method,
refer to 1-3 “Additional processes.”

3. Transferring sections onto slide

are transferred onto the slide glasses.

1-3 Additional processes
The following optional processes are available to add to the section slide preparation process:
1-3-1 Auto Trimming (sample surface image detection) (option )
This option enables the System to perform rough-cutting (trimming) while automatically monitoring the
exposure of the tissue on the sample block surface via a CCD camera under two LED lights (incident
and reflective). The System continues trimming until tissue is exposed for the predetermined tissue
exposure ratio (%).
1-3-2 Sample identification function (option)
This option consists of a barcode reader and printer. The barcode reader reads the barcode printed
on the sample cassette. The printer prints the barcode on a slide so that the second barcode reader will
read and check the barcode printed on the slide against the original.
●The sample identification presupposes that a sample (cassette) must be
printed or labeled with barcode.
●The barcode reader may fail to read the barcodes which are too faint,
covered with paraffin, or stained.
●The sample identification function allows printing of the read barcode and
associated data.
