A filtration station for capturing small to medium sized tissue fragments in fluid for histological processing. The filtration station allows tissue to be filtered onto foam in a cassette or into a biopsy bag with speed, excellent tissue recovery and convenient fixative collection for recycling or disposal. The present invention combines two normally separate filtration stations into one station for more convenient filtration of tissue into two widely used filter media while also reducing exposure to harmful vapors.
