[Histonet] multi-specimen blocks
From: | Nancy.Walker@sanofi-synthelabo.com |
Need advice from you tissue arrayers.
I want to put on the same slides 10 specimens of about a 5mm diameter. When
browsing the web about tissue microarray, this is what I understand from
Thom Jensen's site http://www.arrayworkshop.com/index.html
-punch out cores from existing blocks
-place them in the holes of a recipient block that was punched when warm
-place them upside down on a glass slide and warm to 37°C
-press block on sides to set punches in paraffin
-cool block before removing slide and cut with standard microtome
techniques.
Do you warm the existing blocks before punching? Any advice for a neophyte,
other cool web sites etc.
thanks,
