1. A slide holder assembly for holding a laboratory slide, said slide holder assembly comprising:
(a) a body having a plurality of walls including a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls extending vertically with respect to the bottom wall;
wherein one wall of said plurality of sidewalls forms a vertically oriented sidewall against which a horizontally oriented laboratory slide can abut, and said one wall includes (i) an exit port which is integrated within said one wall and disposed at an elevation beneath the slide and (ii) a channel, in the form of an indented portion that is integrally formed on said one wall and intersects the exit port, that is configured to transfer waste fluid from the slide to the exit port, wherein the indented portion on said one wall extends to an elevation above the exit port on said one wall for channeling the waste fluid under gravity toward the exit port, and, wherein the indented portion and the exit port are disposed at an elevation above the bottom wall,
wherein the body has an open and uncovered top side that is opposite the bottom wall and through which open and uncovered top side fluid can be delivered onto the slide, and
(b) an absorbent pad configured to be positioned between said one wall and a free edge of the laboratory slide, wherein the indented portion is configured to prevent the absorbent pad from entering therewithin.
