[Histonet] Tissue Microarray tools

[Annette Hall]

I just received the catalog yesterday and was thrilled to see this product.
Although a bit pricey-$1530, we should be able to capture the cost with
reagent and materials savings, as well as tech time.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my inquiry,

Annette

Helen,
  I just saw a new "TMA Builder" that Lab Vision has available cat# TMA-001
under Research Tools in their new catalog.  It looks similar to what
woorie-medic's tissue punch extractor looked like.  The mold is totally
different though, it has a metal clamp & a metal recipient base mold with 24
core indentations.  Have you seen it?  Any comments?

Can anyone recommend a good system for making tissue microarrays. We
are not
a large volume lab (approx 250 IHC per month), so I would be looking
at
manual methods for accomplishing this. My planned uses would be for
new
antibody evaluations and controls.

Thanks, Annette
