Fully automated sample preparation system TMA Grand Master

laboratoryfor researchdiagnostic

It is an automated and sophisticated tissue microarrayer, allowing the precise selection and extraction of specific regions of interest on the donor blocks and their insertion in recipient blocks. The TMA Grand Master elevates the tissue microarray workflow to a new level. With its high capacity, high speed and advanced features it is finally possible to create high-density and high-quality TMAs in a standardized way. Thanks to the clever hardware design, the block loading, block imaging, and arraying are parallel processes. Therefore, the TMA Grand Master can be loaded with new blocks continuously, even during the arraying process. By using TMA Grand Master you can easily and quickly create TMA blocks with great precision, of 0.6, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm diameter tissue cores. Optionally, the instrument can also extract tissue samples to standard 0.2 ml PCR tubes. Then, the extracted tissue samples can be used later for various applications at the field of molecular pathology. TMA Grand Master prepares TMA blocks from biological specimens and samples of human or animal tissues. Typical applications include, but are not limited to the following: Laboratories at hospitals and clinics Pathology departments at hospitals and clinics Biobanks Research centers, in particular cancer research centers Pharmaceutical companies Toxico-pathology laboratories This easy-to-use device is one of the most advanced tissue microarrayers on the market with a unique feature set. Key Features Fully automated control The TMA Grand Master is the fastest, highest-capacity fully automated tissue microarrayer on the market.
