TMA Grand Master
The TMA Grand Master not only retains the benefits of the TMA Master but it also elevates the tissue microarray workflow to a new level. With its high capacity, high speed and new features it is finally possible for the TMA technique to enter the clinical pathology workflow.
The tissue microarray (TMA) technique can be used as a valuable, high-throughput diagnostic method. By being able to place up to several hundred different samples into one paraffin block, TMA brings major economies in time quality and costs of tissue preparation, staining and slide preparation. The real advantages of tissue microarrays cannot be achieved when done manually, though.
Intelligent automation
- Automatic measurement of paraffin block height to ensure that the height of transferred cores corresponds to the height of the recipient block
- Automatic generation and saving of donor block images, including barcodes
- Projects automatically saved in an Excel file
- Automatic sample extraction for PCR analyses
- Automatic barcode-reading function (optional)
