An Agarose Matrix Facilitates Sectioning of Tissue Microarray Blocks

An Updated Protocol for High Throughput Plant Tissue Sectioning

Quantification of the tissue and cellular structure of plant material is essential for the study of a variety of plant sciences applications. Currently, many methods for sectioning plant material are either low throughput or involve free-hand sectioning which requires a significant amount of practice. Here, we present an updated method to provide rapid and high-quality cross sections, primarily...

Sectioning of tissue for electron microscopy.

Towards an Algorithm for Matrix Multiplier Blocks

.The basic elements of an algorithm for designing multiplier blocks for matrices are presented. The new algorithm often produces results superior to the best of the older algorithms applied only to columns.

An Instrument to Trim Plastic Specimen Blocks for Electron Microscopy Prior to Sectioning

Two instruments for trimming plastic blocks prior to inserting them into the specimen holder of the microtome have been previously described. One of these is designed to shape the pyramid (1), the other is intended to approach the tissue by trimming the block and leveling the irregular edges of the polymerized plastic from the bottom (2). The usefulness of such instruments is obvious, especiall...

Tissue Microarray: An Emerging Potential Research Tool

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com of tissue samples [1,2]. Rationalisation of biomarkers using the conventional histopathological procedure is time consuming, laborious and pricey especially, when several markers are to be tested on various specimens. So, TMA is expected to surmount these substantial problems [3]. Tissue microarrays are produced by harvesting cylindrical tissue core...
