What are the Benefits of Using Tissue Microarrays?
Tissue Microarrays (TMAs) are an advanced technique in histology where multiple tissue samples are embedded into a single paraffin block. This method offers several benefits:
- Space Efficiency: TMAs reduce the number of slides required, thus saving storage space. - Cost-Effectiveness: By consolidating samples, TMAs minimize the use of reagents and other consumables. - Consistency: TMAs enable simultaneous analysis of multiple samples under identical conditions, improving the reliability of comparative studies.
