Automated tissue arrayer

The Beecher Instruments ATA-27 automated tissue arrayer makes construction of high-density tissue microarrays fast, accurate and reliable. The instrument can accommodate nearly all current tissue cassettes and can be easily adapted to array large or odd-shaped specimens.

The ATA-27 accepts a full range of punch sizes from 0.6 to 2 mm and can produce up to 26 replicate array blocks in a single run.

The system comes equipped with a high-performance PC pre-loaded with custom software for mapping donor cores to single or multiple recipient cassettes. The software gives the user full control over all the process variables required for successful arraying of donor tissues from a large diversity of tissue sources. Once programmed, the ATA-27 needs no user interaction to create an array.

The instrument is equipped with a 110/220 V universal power supply and fits easily on a laboratory bench.
