For those who want to experience precision and automation in their tissue microarray creation and to leave behind the days of manual microarray sample creation, the 3DHISTECH tissue microarrayers offered by Epredia are designed to elevate the tissue microarray workflow to the next level.

These easy-to-use, highly automated instruments have been developed to streamline the creation of high-density and high-quality tissue microarrays (TMAs) with ease and precision, due to the advanced features of the innovative hardware design. Users can easily and quickly prepare TMA blocks from biological specimens and samples of human or animal tissues with complete traceability and reproducibility for various molecular pathology related applications.

The microarrayers offer a fully automated process — from core selection to recipient block creation of up to 500 samples in one block. They feature digital image overlay and annotation import functions, for region-of-interest coring, while automated recipient block drilling and punching enable high-throughput TMA creation.

An automated reporting feature allows a full chain of custody of every core and block. 1D and 2D barcode reading means donor blocks are automatically matched to their digital images for an automated workflow. Automatic block height measurement means the embedded cores will be in alignment with the recipient block surface.

There are four core size options: 0.6, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm. A customisable recipient block layout allows for a range of TMA block project designs. There is also a PCR core extraction function for molecular applications.
