<P>Nancy,</P>
<P>I did a manual array block to see if my method would work. I think it works nicely. A great alternative for those who don't want to spend thousands on a tissue microarrayer. Go to my website and click on NEW INFO (Top Right) and it will take you to my results. <A href="http://www.arrayworkshop.com/">www.arrayworkshop.com</A></P></DIV>
<P>Good Luck,</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Thom,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>That's a nice idea! I ordered a tool for drilling corks that I'm going try
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>to use for making some large cores, I was going to try to enrobe them
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>directly, but the tape will probably help them stand up better. I'm also
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>looking for someone to do a "real" microarray. Do you do custom micro
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>arrays? I'm interested in a low density microarray with a large sample
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>size (like 1.2 or 2mm).
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>thanks again,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Nancy
