Tissue microarray – A plethora of multiple data

Tissue microarray (TMA) technology enables high-throughput tissue analyses to keep pace with the rapid process of advance discovery. With this technique, up to 1000 minute tissue samples are brought into an array format and analyzed simultaneously. The TMA technology is a fast, cost-effective, and statistically powerful method that will substantially facilitate translational research. The ability to study archival tissue specimens is an important advantage as such specimens are usually not applicable in other high-throughput genomic and proteomic surveys.
