Definitions
- This application relates to the field of sample processing systems and methods of processing samples.
- the present invention may be directed to the automated processing, treatment, or even staining of samples arranged on carriers, such as slides, and in some embodiments, directed to the continuous or batch processing of samples and carriers, as well as washing elements of a sampling system.
- Embodiments may further relate to control systems for sample processing and data acquisition, data maintenance, and data retrieval for sample processing.
- Applications to which the present invention may especially relate include immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, fluorescent in-situ hybridization, special staining, and cytology, as well as potentially other chemical and biological applications.
- the present invention relates to an automated sample processing apparatus for treating samples arranged on carrier means, such as microscope slides or sample tubes, located at defined positions close to or in the apparatus by aspirating a portion of selected reagent from a station containing a plurality of reagents and thereafter dispense the reagent to a sample, e.g. a tissue, organic cells, bacteria etc., arranged on the carrier means.
- carrier means such as microscope slides or sample tubes
- the invention also relates to a method of automated treating of samples by mixing reagents and dispensing the mixture to the sample.
- a sample is in this application to be understood as a biological sample such as histological samples, e.g. tissue and cell specimens, including cell lines, proteins and synthetic peptides, tissues, cell preparations, blood, bodily fluids, bone marrow, cytology specimens, blood smears, thin-layer preparations, and micro arrays, and specifically biological samples on microscope slides.
- histological samples e.g. tissue and cell specimens, including cell lines, proteins and synthetic peptides, tissues, cell preparations, blood, bodily fluids, bone marrow, cytology specimens, blood smears, thin-layer preparations, and micro arrays, and specifically biological samples on microscope slides.
- Sample processing in immunohistochemical (IHC) applications and in other chemical and biological analyses may require one or a number of various processing sequences or protocols as part of an analysis of one or more samples.
- the sample processing sequences or protocols may be defined by the individual or organization requesting an analysis, such as a pathologist or histologist of a hospital, and may be further defined by the dictates of a particular analysis to be performed.
- a biological sample may be acquired by known sample acquisition techniques and may comprise, for example in IHC applications, tissues generally or even in some applications one or a plurality of isolated cells, such as in microarray samples, and may be presented on a sample carrier such as a microscope slide. Furthermore, the sample may be presented on the carrier variously and potentially in some form of preservation. As one example, a sample such as a layer or slice of skin may be preserved in formaldehyde and presented on a carrier with one or more paraffin or other chemical layers infiltrating the sample.
- Immunologic and histological applications may require processing sequences or protocols that comprise steps such as deparaffinization, target retrieval, and staining, especially for in-situ hybridization (ISH) techniques.
- steps such as deparaffinization, target retrieval, and staining, especially for in-situ hybridization (ISH) techniques.
- ISH in-situ hybridization
- Previous efforts to automate sample processing may be deficient in several aspects that prevent more robust automated sample processing, such as: the lack of sufficient computer control and monitoring of sample processing; the lack of information sharing for processing protocol and processing status, especially for individual samples; the lack of diagnostic capabilities; and the lack of real-time or adaptive capabilities for multiple sample batch processing.
- Sample processing apparatuses for staining and treating samples by means of probes normally comprises a first station for containing one or more reagent vials; a second station for mounting slides, a probe arranged to aspirate a portion of reagent from a selected reagent vial and dispensing the reagent to a slide on which the sample is arranged and a drive means for moving the probe between the various stations.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,948,359 discloses an apparatus of the above mentioned type, wherein the first station comprises a vial holder for holding 40 or more vials in order to provide a wide range of different reagents adapted for different staining purposes, and thereby the possibility of automatically staining a large number of slides requiring different staining processes.
- the apparatus facilitates that many different staining processes can be performed at the same time in the apparatus, because this avoids the necessity of batching samples requiring the same procedure or other treatment with reagents, and processing each batch individually.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,092 discloses a sample dilution well for an immunoassay analyser in which a sample and a diluent is mixed by rotating the sample dilution well.
- Samples such as plasma or urine are loaded into the immunoassay analyser in a number of sample containing tubes, and a probe is arranged for collecting a portion of the sample in a selected sample carrying tube and transferring the sample to the dilution well, adding a portion of diluent, such as water to the sample portion and mixing the two by rotating the dilution well, after which a portion of the diluted sample is aspirated from the dilution well for examination.
- a probe is arranged for collecting a portion of the sample in a selected sample carrying tube and transferring the sample to the dilution well, adding a portion of diluent, such as water to the sample portion and mixing the two by rotating the dilution well, after which a portion of the diluted sample is as
- the staining procedure is laborious and uses many different reagents.
- the staining protocol may include the following steps: deparaffination, washing, antigen retrieval, endogenous biotin or enzyme blocking, incubation with immunological reagents, molecular probes, secondary visualization reagents and various chromogen reagents, washing steps and counterstaining.
- An on-board mixing device should be able to mix a multiple of reagents and mixtures.
- Non-limiting examples include:
- Dilution of chromogens concentrates, mixing and dilution of two, three or four component enzyme chromogen reagents, dilution of buffer concentrates, dilution of immunological reagents with dilution buffer, dilution of visualization reagents with dilution buffers, mixing several visualization reagents with dilution buffer or dilution of enzyme blocking reagents, dilution of biotin blocking reagents or mixing and dilution of counterstaining reagents.
- the chromogen reagents e.g. DAB, AEC, fast red etc
- DAB dibenzoic acid
- AEC adenosine triphosphate
- fast red adenosine triphosphate
- Chromogens like the Fast Red alkaline phosphatase chromogen are made ready for use by mixing and dilution of two or three reagents, which are very different in nature with regard to salt content, viscosity and density. Furthermore, the resulting mixtures are unstable over time and need to be used within a short time.
- Some chromogens suitable for e.g. horseradish peroxidase, like DAB and AEC, are easily oxidized when exposed to air during e.g. vigorous mixing or dilution.
- the enzyme chromogens and counterstain reagents like e.g. hematoxylin, are semi oxidized and can contain precipitates and solids. By further oxidation or slight change in pH, the reagents can further precipitate.
- Antibody and enzyme containing reagents often contain stabilizing proteins and or detergents, which causes the solution to foam when being shaken or stirred. Many proteins cannot easily tolerate to be exposed to the hydrophobic air in foam.
- Wash buffers can contain detergents, which can foam when shaken or stirred. The foam can spread to other compartments of the instrument in an unwanted and unpredictable way.
- Spill over/carry over must be avoided.
- the staining process is characterized by using many, complex and very different reagents and buffers and in many different dilution ratios and mixtures. Some of the reagents or buffers are incompatible with each other's. In the event of cross contamination due to e.g. carry over, the reagents may be ruined within seconds or solids can precipitate, making the staining unsuccessful.
- enzyme containing reagents can not be mixed with the corresponding chromogens, or high salt concentrates may not be mixed with e.g.
- proteins containing mixtures, or organic solvents can not be mixed with protein containing mixtures, or highly pH buffered wash buffers can not be mixed with low buffered mixtures without significantly altering the properties of the reagents. Accordingly the cleansing and washing of the mixing device need to be very efficient.
- the mixing device should ideally be able to mix very different volumes of reagents in both small and large volumes ratios.
- the degree of dilution and mixing ratios of reagents may vary from small to high ratios.
- the mixing device should ideally allow:

- the adaptive sample processing control system may automate the sample processing system such that one or more batches of samples may be processed according to one or more protocols, potentially indicated by information on the slides that may be automatically identified by the adaptive sample processing control system.
- Sample processing may comprise one or more sampling protocols and steps, such as deparaffinization, target retrieval, and staining.
- staining is used for the end product of the process, by which certain parts of the sample may be stained, i.e. have obtain a different colour, either in the optic range or in another electromagnetic range, such as ultra violet, or the staining may be an detectable, preferably automatically detectable, change in properties, such as fluorescent properties, magnetic properties, electrical properties or radioactive properties.
- the sample normally have to undergo a series of treatment steps, such as—but not limited to—washing, binding of reagents to the specific parts of the sample, activation of the reagents, etc. and each treatment step may include a plurality of individual treatments.
- reagents prepared from two or more separate reagents which may be somewhat incompatible e.g. unmixable, such as a water based and an oil based reagent, or insoluble, and therefore requires that the two or more reagents are manually prepared and introduced into a reagent vial shortly before starting the staining process in order to obtain the best possible staining result for the selected examination purposes.
- different staining process steps require a mixture of the same two reagents but in different dissolution ratios.
- Some process step may require a mixture of two or more reagents that, when mixed, becomes unstable, e.g.

- the carrier means may also be arranged movably with respect to the probe drive means, such as in an endless row that is advanced automatically past the operating area of the probe drive means or as a two-dimensional array that may be moved in a direction perpendicular to a travel direction of the probe drive means, so that the probe may reach any carrier means by the combined movement of the probe and the array.

- a releasable connection 212 is provided between the probe 10 and the robot arm, enabling the replacement of the probe 10 held by the robot arm by placing the probe 10 in one of a number of free washing stations 8 , where it is released by the releasable connection 212 , and where a new probe 10 ′ is connected to the robot arm by means of the releasable connection 212 .
- the control means of the apparatus operates the robot arm to commence a staining or treatment run by firstly moving the probe to a first reagent vial 3 , into which the probe tip 211 is inserted into the liquid and is aspirated into the probe 10 in an amount corresponding to the number of samples to be stained or treated, in accordance with the input data provided to the control means.
- the probe 10 is subsequently, in a first operating mode moved by the robot arm towards the slide rack system 5 in which the slides 7 are mounted.
- the slides 7 are situated with the surface horizontally oriented and the probe 10 releases the required amount of reagent on the appropriate slides in accordance with the input data.
- the probe 10 is in a second operating mode moved by the robot arm towards the reagent mixer 9 where it releases the reagent into the cup 213 of the reagent mixer 9 , and is subsequently moved to the probe washing station 8 , where the probe 10 is either washed or—in the alternative embodiment—released into a free washing station 8 , and another probe situated in another washing station is connected to the robot arm.
- the robot arm moves the new clean probe to a second selected reagent vial 3 for collecting a selected amount of reagent from the second vial 3 , and the probe is thereafter by means of the robot arm moved to the reagent mixer 9 , where the reagent in the probe is dispensed into the cup 13 of the mixer containing the first selected reagent.
- the second operating mode can according to the invention be commenced several times if more than two reagents are to be mixed for a specific staining or treatment process.
- the reagent mixer 9 mixes the reagents in the cup 213 thereof, and a clean probe 10 picked up from the washing station 8 by the robot arm is lowered into the cup 213 of the reagent mixer 9 to collect the mixed reagents, where after the robot arm moves the probe 10 towards the second station 5 containing the slides 7 , at which the probe 10 releases the required amount of mixed reagent on selected slides 7 in accordance with the input data.
- the robot arm with probe 10 is subsequently directed to a free washing station 8 , and the probe 10 is either washed or alternatively replaced by a clean probe, where after the process in accordance with the first or the second operating mode may be repeated or continued with a new reagent or reagent mixture.
- the present invention is highly suitable for on-board mixing in an automated cytological/IHC/ISH instrument.
- the shape of the cup allows debris, fines, precipitates or other solids of both high and low density to be centrifuged up and out of the cup at high rotation speeds.
- the speed may be controlled by control means operating according to the processing protocol carried out for the samples present in the apparatus, i.e. if the reagents present in the mixer cup have high viscosity it may be advantageous applying a very high speed of rotation to ensure that all reagents are removed from the cup.
- the shape of the cup allow for the specific separation of immiscible liquid phases, by first removing the liquid with the highest density during centrifugation. It should be understood that the shape of the cup makes the mixing almost independent of the volume. The mixing action is the same for a wide range of volumes in the same cup. In contrast, the mixing action of e.g. a propeller mixer is depending on e.g. the volume of reagents, propeller size and container size.
- the rotating action of the cup allows air to escape from the mixture and prevent foaming.
- the rotating action can suppress the formation and build-up of foam by forcing the air/liquid foam down to the liquid surface.
- the rotation pattern (speed and direction) is controlled by controlling means, such as a computer, according to the sample processing protocol, thereby optimising the quality the mixing in the mixer cup in respect to the reagents present in the mixer cup, e.g. in such manner that the formation and build up of foam is suppressed.
- the cup can be covered with a neutral gas like the noble gasses, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or similar to further protect the reagents during mixing.
- a neutral gas like the noble gasses, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or similar to further protect the reagents during mixing.
- the protective gas is heavier than atmospheric gas. The layer of protective gas can easily be added and removed, and can cover any of the volumes the cup can hold.
- the reagents mixing may be done in a batch-mode to make mixtures for treating multiple samples.
- the on board mixing allow for large dilution ratios and the possibility to dilute or mix reagents, using only a small portion of the mixture for treatment of samples, and discarding the rest of the mixture. This is advantageous, as some dilutions ratios are very large, and too small volumes of the concentrated reagent cannot easily be accurately measured and added. Often a minimum volume of reagent to be measured is defined.
- the on board cup mixing design allow for a very high degree of flexibility in the staining protocol.
- the basic concepts of the present invention may be embodied in a variety of ways. It involves both mixing techniques as well as devices to accomplish the appropriate mixer element.
- the mixing techniques are disclosed as part of the results shown to be achieved by the various devices described and as steps which are inherent to utilization. They are simply the natural result of utilizing the devices as intended and described.
- some devices are disclosed, it should be understood that these not only accomplish certain methods but also can be varied in a number of ways. Importantly, as to all of the foregoing, all of these facets should be understood to be encompassed by this disclosure.
- each of the various elements of the invention and claims may also be achieved in a variety of manners.
- the term “element” is to be understood as encompassing individual as well as plural structures that may or may not be physically connected. This disclosure should be understood to encompass each such variation, be it a variation of an embodiment of any apparatus embodiment, a method or process embodiment, or even merely a variation of any element of these.
