Arrayit offers more than 1,000 high quality tissue microarrays for basic and cancer research, life sciences, clinical and histological applications. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are glass slides (1 x 25 x 76 mm) containing thin section miniaturized arrays of paraffin-embedded cylindrical tissue cores. TMA slides are analyzed using powerful techniques including histochemical staining, immunohistochemical staining, immunofluorescent staining and in situ hybridization with DNA or mRNA probes. Because multiple patient tissue samples are analyzed in a miniaturized and massively parallel format, TMAs greatly reduce experimental variability and technical artifacts and speed histological analysis compared to traditional techniques.

Arrayit Bladder Human Tissue Microarray, 191 Cases and 192 Cores is a bladder cancer with bladder tissue array, including pathology grade, TNM and clinical stage, 191 cases/192 cores, replacing BL2081b. Arrayit offers an extensive line of more than 1,000 high quality tissue microarrays for basic and cancer research, life sciences, clinical and histological applications. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are glass slides (1 x 25 x 76 mm) containing thin section miniaturized arrays of paraffin-embedded cylindrical tissue cores. Arrayit tissue microarrays are manufactured using more than 50 different human tissues obtained from surgical pathology, autopsy and other sources, embedded in paraffin to create donors blocks. A tissue microarrayer punches miniature cylindrical tissue cores from the donor blocks and prints them in a defined pattern at high density into recipient blocks such that dozens or hundreds of tissue cores can be printed into the recipient blocks. A microtome is used to cut thin sections from the recipient blocks and the tissue sections are transferred onto glass slides to complete the tissue microarray manufacturing process. TMA slides are analyzed using powerful techniques including histochemical staining, immunohistochemical staining, immunofluorescent staining and in situ hybridization with DNA or mRNA probes. Because multiple patient samples are analyzed in a massively parallel format, TMAs greatly reduce experimental variability and technical artifacts compared to traditional techniques. Clinical cancer patient cohorts and corresponding tissue microarray sets have been used to study diagnostic, prognostic and treatment predictive cancer biomarkers in most forms of cancer including lung, breast, colorectal and renal cell cancer. Tissue microarrays and immunohistochemistry have been combined in large scale efforts to create a protein expression map on a proteomic scale. Arrayit Bladder Human Tissue Microarray, 191 Cases and 192 Cores ships as 1 tissue microarray slide per order.
