I use the arrayer originally sold by Chemicon but is now sold by EDM.  I
also work at a facility where we make TMAs for other labs such as your self
for a fee.  We construct the TMAs using your own blocks and a few of ours to
fill out the control section.  We then cut the TMA for you and dip them in
paraffin for storage if you wish.  You can find our facility information at
www.tgen.org.  Look for the Tissue Microarray Facility on the website.  You
can also contact me at this address and I can give you further information.
