Tissue Array (or Tissue MicroArray) is a method of relocating multiple tissues from conventional histologic paraffin blocks so that tissues from multiple patients can be seen on a same slide.
|
|
|
 |
- Immunohistochemistry
- In situ hybridization, RNA or DNA
- Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)
- In situ PCR, RNA or DNA
- TUNEL for apoptosis
|
 |
- Experimental uniformity
- Saving the assay volume
- Reduce the number of slides and workload
|
 |
- Large cores of 2.0 mm in diameter
- Fresh-cut slides
- No adhesive tape for sectioning
|
 |
- Individual slide is paraffin-coated and put in an
air-tight pack with inert gas.
- Tissue array slides are shipped in room temperature.
- If the slides are stored in 4 degree, they are
good up to one year.
