Embedding apparatus
Abstract:
The present invention addresses an object to provide an embedding apparatus capable of removing an embedding material such as paraffin and solids such as debris of a tissue fragment adhered to a tweezers holder hole easily. As a solving means, an embedding apparatus (10) includes: a tweezers holder (26) including a tweezers holder hole (26a); a first heater (34) configured to warm the tweezers holder (26); a first sensor (40) configured to detect a temperature of the tweezers holder (26); and a control unit (46) wherein the control unit (46) performs control to turn the first heater (34) OFF until the temperature reaches a point equal to or below a first set temperature at which the embedding material adhered to the tweezers holder hole (26a) starts to solidify, and upon receipt of a signal indicating that the temperature of the tweezers holder (26) reaches the first set temperature from the first sensor (40), turn the first heater (34) ON until the temperature reaches a second set temperature at which a sticking site between the solidified embedding material and the tweezers holder hole (26a) is melted.
