TMA-Tissue MicroArray Builder

TMA-Tissue MicroArray Builder

Tissue Micro Array makes it possible for researchers to simultaneously compare a variety of molecular and protein parameters in tissues by immunohistochemistry / immunocytochemistry from dozens of individual specimens in a single TMA. Samples from different tissues are embedded and arrayed in paraffin to create a TMA block. TMA allows for up to 8-12-24-70 (4 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm, and 1 mm) different tissue samples to be present in a single tissue block. Each TMA block can be cut to obtain hundreds of serial sections, so it is possible to rapidly analyze hundreds of parameters in the same set of specimen.

DominoStainer

DominoStainer

DominoStainer is a completely automated immunostainer protected by the WO 2005/0955752 (FR 2005/00077) patent. Its advantage compared with well known high performance instruments is that DominoStainer has been developed especially for TMA slides. This stainer is appropriate for small amounts of samples in small laboratories or useful for serial tests of TMA slides. Using with reagents of Histopathology, Ltd. this instrument offers a cost-effective and environment-friendly solution. Technical advantage is the connection of the incubation chambers side by side, like the domino game. The operating software is simple, without time consuming data entry and programming. Touch screen interface ensures the operation steps and does not need additional PC or monitor. The reagent racks could be handled as separate units, the remaining reagents are reusable.
