TISSUE MICROARRAY TECHNOLOGY
Tissue MicroArrays (TMAs) have become a common method for efficient high capacity analysis of tissue samples.
This kind of technology allows to enclose up to a thousand tissue samples into a single block. Resulting blocks are arranged in arrays and can be categorized by its users. As a result, you can analyze the samples by using certain detection techniques.
ADVANTAGES
As it is common way of analysis, using this method has many advantages. Such as increased working speed, higher capacity, standardization and ease-of-use. Also provided protection of valuable sample and keeping the cost of analysis as low as possible.
APPLICATIONS
Beginning with immunohistochemical detection of protein in tissue sample. Atomic transformation frequency analysis in different tumor types. Antibody color condition optimization. Ending with testing and evaluation of prognostic markers. – Typical applications include such steps.

The Manual Tissue Arrayer MTA-1 allows for relatively easy construction of tissue microarrays (TMAs) with several hundred specimens.
The Manual Tissue Arrayer MTA-1 is the entry-level equipment necessary to start up a productive TMA facility. It is an affordable, manually operated high-precision arraying equipment. Skilled users can create arrays with more than 500 samples per slide with this unit.
The Automated Tissue Arrayer ATA-27 is designed for fast, accurate and reliable construction of high-density tissue microarray blocks.
The Automated Tissue Arrayer ATA-27 is intended for laboratories requiring higher throughput in array production. It eliminates the tedious manual punching procedure from array construction workflow. After planning and designing the array layout using dedicated software, ATA-27 creates array blocks automatically using robotics to measure block heights, retrieve donor tissue cores, create holes in paraffin matrix and deposit tissue cores into holes.
TISSUE ARRAYERS
What is more, Our tissue microarray instruments are designed and developed by Beecher Instruments. Therefore, these instruments allow you to inspect multiple slides that contain hundreds of individual tissues.
Instead of inspecting samples one slide at a time, tissue microarray allows you to work with hundreds at the time. For example, an analysis from 600 different tissues can be completed with just 1 day.
