AutoTiss 10C Automatic Tissue Microarrayer

One of the most innovative invention. Compact and FULLY automated, tissue microarray (TMA) arrayer, which significantly helps the researchers to decrease the time and labor in creating blocks. It can hold up to 10 blocks at a time and five 0.6, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5mm punchs sizes are available.

This automatic TMA is an instrument which extracts tissue from donor blocks and transplant them to recipient blocks according to the layout designed by the users. Integrated software allows user to import and export excel files including information of the samples and the recipient block, directly using database interface. These files keep track of the procedure that can also be used to repeat the process or to modify for correction.
