Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005037182A2] A cassette (10) for holding a tissue sample includes a body having a bottom wall (28) and a plurality of side walls (26) extending upwardly with respect to the bottom wall to define an interior space for receiving the tissue sample. A lid (24) is configured to be received in the interior space, and the cassette (10) is sectionable in a microtome. Sensing elements (12) are associated with the body (16) or lid (24) and configured to allow an automated sensing system to determine at least one characteristic of the cassette (10). A flange (14) extends along upper portions of at least two of the side walls (26) and includes a plurality of holes (12, 20). Other features are included to more effectively and efficiently manufacture and use the cassette (10).
