Epredia™ Lab Vision™ Tissue Microarray (TMA) Builder, 6 x 4 array

Description

• Like the DNA chip, which scans the genome for alterations or abnormal gene expression, the Tissue Micro Array (TMA) permits parallel processing of biological samples
• The TMA technology can be used to identify diagnostic markers, parameters to predict aggressiveness of cancer, and other biological characteristics of tumor cells
• Features: Mold is used to create a recipient paraffin block with 24 x 2.0mm holes arranged in a 6 x 4 array Tissue punch extractor takes cores from existing paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and injects the tissue cores into the holes of the recipient block Blocks can be sliced into hundreds of consecutive sections of 3 to 4μm each, making it possible to rapidly analyze hundreds of parameters in the same set of specimens Includes: Two-piece mold set Punch extractor Mold screws Recommended For: High throughput screening Rapid screening of novel gene or protein expressions
