Automated Tissue Microarrayer

The Qucik Ray Master-UATM-272B is an automated tissue microarrayer which extracts tissue samples from

donor blocks and delivers the extracted tissue samples into recipient blocks automatically.

With the aid of donor block dedicated camera, a puncher extracts the tissue from the target point marked

with an ink pen on donor blocks and delivers the extracted sample tissue into a recipient  block hole. Then,

the  recipient  block  dedicated  camera  detects  the  center  of  corresponding  hole    and  inserts  the  tissue

sample into the hole of the recipient block.

This automatic process can be done by defining 3 parameters (size of punch, number of donor blocks, and

sample number per donor block) with TARP (Tissue Array Report Program) of Excel data file which is already

installed in the PC. After the process, information of inserted tissue into  recipient block is revised and saved

in TARP file on Excel data sheet which is useful for data processing, managing database and others.

Quick Ray Master helps the researchers to decrease the time and labor in creating the blocks by using the pr

e-made recipient blocks to be supplied by Unitma.
