New Technique to Diagnose Tissue microarray
Author(s): Darshini Arpi*
A recent development in pathology is tissue microarray. A microarray enables high throughput analysis of multiple specimens at once because it contains numerous small representative tissue samples from hundreds of distinct instances combined on a single histologic slide. Tissue microarrays are paraffin blocks created by re-embedding cylindrical tissue cores at predetermined array coordinates into a single recipient (microarray) block from various paraffin donor blocks. This method enables the arraying of up to 1000 tissue samples or more into a single paraffin block. On a single glass slide, it can allow simultaneous study of molecular targets at the DNA, mRNA, and protein levels under the same, uniform circumstances, as well as maximise the preservation and utilisation of finite and priceless archival tissue samples. This adaptable method, which automates data processing, makes it ea.. Read More»
