TMA Grand Master – The Ultimate High-Throughput TMA
The TMA Grand Master is the industry-leading automated tissue microarrayer in the market, designed to streamline high-throughput tissue microarray (TMA) creation with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability. Engineered for research, biomarker studies, and drug development, it automates the selection, coring, and placement of tissue samples, significantly reducing manual workload while ensuring exceptional reproducibility. With its high-capacity design, the TMA Grand Master can process up to 72 recipient blocks and 600 donor blocks in a single run, far surpassing traditional methods and competing systems.
Its intelligent software allows for precise core selection, automated tissue recognition, and real-time visualization, minimizing human error and maximizing efficiency. The system’s high-speed robotic arm ensures accurate and consistent placement, while its barcode-based tracking enhances sample traceability. Designed for laboratories that demand both scalability and reliability, the TMA Grand Master sets the standard in automated TMA production – Featuring fully automated walkaway operation, 72 blocks capacity, 4 core diameters, ability to create clone blocks (identical TMAs), sample extraction feature for molecular analysis in PCR tubes (6 PCR casette, 10 PCR tube in each).
