Our TMAs
Array Science uses patented methods to manufacture high quality tissue microarrays (TMAs) that are suitable for advanced histologic analyses such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). Applications include assay optimization, validation, daily quality control, inter-laboratory comparisons, and proficiency testing. We produce TMAs from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue supplied by clients or tissue carefully selected from trusted commercial suppliers. Our strict quality control system ensures optimal quality and reproducibility.
Our TMA technology reduces costs by maximizing block yield and minimizing tissue loss while also improving quality. Our blocks are built with standard core sizes: 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. Custom core sizes are available upon request.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
Customizable
You can specify the number of cores, core diameter and depth, and block height.
We assemble arrays with tissue provided by you or carefully selected from tissue supplied by trusted commercial sources.
Certified
Our tissue is carefully selected from trusted commercial suppliers and validated by a board-certified pathologist. Our strict quality control system ensures optimal quality and reproducibility.
High Yield
With good histologic technique, they yield an estimated 500 or more mounted sections per 5mm cut at 4-5 microns, offering the best price per section.
