Tissue Micro Arrays for High Throughput Screening and QC

With the cost of treatments being increasingly expensive, companion diagnostics need to be developed alongside a therapeutic to help clinicians determine if a treatment will be of benefit to their patient, and enable justification of treatment cost. To effectively prescribe precision medicine, precision diagnostics are therefore required.

The majority of tissue samples are processed as Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) as this offers the most convenient and cost-effective way to store tissues for a long time, and preserves proteins, DNA, RNA and glycans for later study, so are a sample type of choice for a variety of spatial biology techniques as they offer   preservation of markers and the wider tumour micro environment (TME).

TMA can also be effective in Quality control allowing staining performance to be monitored in a high throughput manner, with on slide positive and negative controls for full confidence in the results.

FFPE Tissue micro arrays (TMA) from MymAb Biologics offer a number of benefits to researchers who need to efficiently stain and analyse a wide range of tissue samples including:

• High Efficiency: Analyse multiple samples simultaneously, saving time and laboratory resources.
• Cost-Effective: Reduce reagent and consumable usage compared to traditional slide-based studies.
• Standardized Data: Maintain consistency across experiments with uniform sample processing.
• Broad Sample Representation: Study diverse tissue types, cancer subtypes, and patient demographics in one microarray.
• Comprehensive Data: Each array is curated for metadata richness, covering tumour type, grade, stage, and patient demographics when available.
• SEA Sourced Sample: Our tissue microarrays are sourced from Southeast Asian samples, offering distinct population-specific insights that are often missing from Western-focused arrays.
• Fully Consented: Every sample comes from donors who have given informed consent, supporting ethical research standards.
