Veridiam Tissue Arrayer

Semi-automated Veridiam tissue arrayers are based on proprietary patent-pending technologies and allow for creating customized tissue microarrays using multiple tissue cores on a single glass slide. These arrayers are the only tissue array instruments on the marker that have a microscope station integrated with the donor and recipient block stations. All three stations are indexed with each other along the X-Y axes, and a unique multiple Z-height stop technology is introduced in the instrument design.

These features provide enhanced ability to precisely locate the desired area of tissue, extract it quickly and accurately, and deliver the entire tissue core to the top of the donor block.

Specific advantages of semi-automated
Veridiam arrayers include:

• Exact selection of the area of interest using stereo microscope
• Built-in automatic alignment of the donor slide and the donor block
• On- and off- microscope operating modes
• Precise extraction of every tissue core and delivery to the top of the recipient block
• Built-in automatic alignment of the donor block and recipient blocks
• No tissue compression
• Built-in indexing of the donor and recipient blocks
• Exact X-Y-Z adjustments, including three Z-height stops

Our tissue arrayer product line currently includes the VTA-100 series (based on binocular microscope stations) and the VTA-110 series (supplied with trinocular microscopes). See table below.

The VTA-100 (binocular) and VTA-110 (trinocular) arrayers are designed as the most basic semi-automated instruments.

VTA-100C and VTA-110C are supplied with digital cameras that can be customized to produce higher and lower resolution images. Each camera is provided with a standard USB cable and software package for PC and MAC operation systems. Also included is an adaptor manufactured by Veridiam to integrate the camera with the microscope station.

The most advanced models, VTA-100CC and VTA-110CC, are supplied with a digital camera and a laptop computer. Each laptop is fully configured and pre-loaded with the digital camera software and, per customers' request, with TMA Foresight software. The laptop will be customized according to each user's requirements.

The optional TMA Foresight package contains data management software designed by Premier Biosoft International to correlate tissue microarray data with clinical parameters and outcomes. We offer a $200 discount on TMA Foresight list price when purchased with any Veridiam tissue arrayer. Learn more about TMA Foresight software.
