You can analyses a lot of different patients in one IHC slide
It contains multiple tissues in one slide of parrafin fixed samples to be used in Immunohistochemistry.
Can we do a quick analysis of molecular markers associated with the diagnosis/prognosis of diseases using tissue microarrays? This is the easiest and fastest way to find new markers antibodies for IHC, Immunohistochemistry.
The number of different samples available in one glass slide is the main advantage. Sometimes the samples are too small to recognize intact organs.
At room temperature the arrays can be stored forever.
Fish, cish, monoclonal and polyclonal antibody staining, target retrieval of antigens for Immunohistochemistry.
25-65
Gentaur supplies age, race, gender and clinical condition of the tissues in the macro array.
With a manual Tissue Microarray construction Kitt for paraffin tissue microarrays or a Microarrayer.
They are 1000 000 larger
Why do we use tissue microarrays? To test simultaneously a large number of related samples of different patients under same conditions.
Yes, Fish, Cish probes, mono and polyclonal antibodies are used.
