Tissue Microarrays
Processing Fees (effective February 1, 2025)
Tissue microarray technology places up to a thousand discs of tissue on a single glass slide, which can then be assayed by histologic staining, immunohistochemistry, histoenzymology, or in situ hybridization. This allows the simultaneous analysis and comparison of multiple different tissues on a single histology slide. TMA technology can facilitate the analysis of molecular changes in thousands of samples and hundreds of donors simultaneously.
