Histology Tissue Micro Array

Brief description:

TMA GrandMaster (3D Histech)

Tissue Micro Arrays (TMAs) are produced by a method of relocating tissue from conventional histologic paraffin blocks in such a way, that tissue from multiple animals or patients or blocks can be seen on the same slide.

The TMA GrandMaster from 3D Histech has the follwing features:

- High capacity: 72 blocks

   • 60 donor blocks at the same time

   • 12 recipient blocks

- 4 core diameters

   • 0.6 mm max. 558 cores

   • 1 mm max. 286 cores

   • 1.5 mm max. 135 cores

   • 2 mm max. 84 cores

- Speed: max. 12 seconds per core

- Simultaneous loading, imaging, drilling and punching

- Smart automation

  • Automatic block height measurement to ensure the embedded cores in alignment   

  • Automatic barcode reading

  • Automatic donor block and label image saving for reference

  • Automatic project data saving into Excel file
