AN IMPROVED MANUAL TISSUE MICROARRAYER DEVICE FOR A RAPID AND SIMULTANEOUS ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE TUMOR SPECIMENS

摘要

An improved manual tissue microarrayer device for a rapid and simultaneous analysis of multiple tumor specimens, comprising: a tissue punch enabled to collect a donor core from at least one donor block; a drift enabled to extrude the donor core from the tissue punch; and a hole punch enabled to configure holes on at least one TMA block such that the cores are TMA arrayed in a gird-like fashion on the TMA block.
