An inexpensive method of small paraffin tissue microarrays using mechanical pencil tips
BACKGROUND Tissue microarray technology has provided a high throughput means of evaluating potential biomarkers in archival pathological specimens. This study was carried out in order to produce tissue microarray blocks using mechanical pencil tips without high cost. METHOD Conventional mechanical pencil tips (Rotring Tikky II Mechanical Pencil 1.0 mm) were used to cut out 1 mm wax cylinders ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Tissue Microarrays for Quick and Efficient Spheroid Characterization
Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro microphysiological cultures, such as spheroids and organoids, promise increased patient relevance and therapeutic predictivity compared with reductionist cell monolayers. However, high-throughput characterization techniques for 3D models are currently limited to simplistic live/dead assays. By sectioning and staining in vitro microtissues, researchers can examine...
متن کاملSimple, inexpensive, and precise paraffin tissue microarrays constructed with a conventional microcompound table and a drill grinder.
In 1998, paraffin tissue microarrays (PTMAs) as paraffin blocks containing up to 1,000 cylindrical paraffin tissue core biopsy specimens (PTCBs) for high-throughput molecular profiling of tumor specimens were introduced. PTCBs can be constructed using a manual tissue puncher/arrayer (Beecher Instruments, Sun Prairie, WI; cost, at least $7,000). Furthermore, custom-built PTMAs such as the MaxArr...
متن کاملQuick and inexpensive paraffin-embedding method for dynamic bone formation analyses
We have developed a straightforward method that uses paraffin-embedded bone for undemineralized thin sectioning, which is amenable to subsequent dynamic bone formation measurements. Bone has stiffer material properties than paraffin, and therefore has hereforto usually been embedded in plastic blocks, cured and sectioned with a tungsten carbide knife to obtain mineralized bone sections for dyna...
متن کاملTissue microarrays in urology.
The TMA is a high-throughput technique to assess thousands of different cores of pathological tissue simultaneously using morphological and molecular analyses, e.g. immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, whilst maintaining an accurate and efficient method of identifying each specific section. Using this technique an economy in cutting and staining can also be used, with an unprecedente...
