1. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of slides each supporting a biological sample;providing a sealable heating pressure chamber capable of receiving said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample;placing said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample in a multi-slide container;adding at least one antigen retrieval solution to said multi-slide container containing said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample;placing said multi-slide container containing said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample into said sealable heating pressure chamber;displaying options on a user interface of a programmable controller of said sealable heating pressure chamber, wherein said options comprise a pre-programmed protocol and a create new protocol;user selecting said pre-programmed protocol or user creating said new protocol on said user interface of said programmable controller of said sealable heating pressure chamber to provide a selected protocol for at least one program run of said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample, wherein said selected protocol is based on said user selected pre-programmed protocol or said user created new protocol;user-starting said selected protocol for said at least one program run of said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample in said sealable heating pressure chamber;automatically displaying a run status of said selected protocol;automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides after said step of user starting said selected protocol;automatically heating said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample;automatically sensing an internal pressure of said sealable heating pressure chamber;automatically recording an internal chamber temperature and said internal pressure at various times during said at least one program run; andproviding antigen retrieved biological samples supported on said plurality of slides. 2. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 further comprising the step of generating a run report for said at least one program run. 3. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 and further comprising the step of remotely monitoring said processing of said biological samples with a remote device. 4. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said step of automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides comprises a step selected from a group consisting of: automatically shutting off said sealable heating pressure chamber, automatically controlling pressure in said sealable heating pressure chamber, automatically controlling temperature said sealable heating pressure chamber, remotely user controlling said sealable heating pressure chamber; automatically smart system error handling said sealable heating pressure chamber, and any combination thereof. 5. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 further comprising the step of increasing thermal conductivity to said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample. 6.

A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said user interface comprises elements selected from the group consisting of a task bar, system setup, set alarm, a run protocol, an expert system, export reports, pretest checklist, run completed, run canceled, login screen, welcome, protocol manager, login control, export in process, user manager, change protocol, confirm delete, create new protocol, create new antibody, create new user, preheat settings, and any combination thereof. 10. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 and further comprising the step of circulating air with an air circulating pump in said sealable heating pressure chamber. 11. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said step of automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides after said step of user starting said selected protocol comprises the step of automatically correcting at least one processing parameter during said program run. 12. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said step of automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides after said step of user starting said selected protocol comprises feedback processing said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample in said sealable heating pressure chamber. 13. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said step of automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides after said step of user starting said selected protocol comprises feed forward processing said plurality of slides each supporting said biological sample in said sealable heating pressure chamber. 14. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 1 wherein said step of automatically processing said biological samples on each of said plurality of slides after said step of user starting said selected protocol comprises automatically predictively adjusting said at least one program run. 15. A method for semi-automatically retrieving antigens from biological specimens according to claim 14 wherein said step of automatically predictively adjusting at least one program run comprises selecting a predictive adjustment from a group consisting of a predictive time adjustment, a predictive temperature adjustment, a predictive pH adjustment and a predictive pressure adjustment.
