As the latest member of 3DHISTECH’s TMA product family, this device is based on our well-known TMA Master tissue microarrayer and has numerous hardware and software improvements inspired by our flagship device, TMA Grand Master.
TMA Master II is a robust and reliable computer-controlled instrument for creating tissue microarray (TMA) blocks. It is an ideal solution for smaller laboratories, helping save reagent, slides, time, workforce and money. By using TMA Master II, 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. The extracted tissue samples can then be used later for various applications at the field of molecular pathology.
TMA Master II 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 an impressive feature set.
