Dedicated Tissue
Processing Center

Stringent QA/QC

.
Heterogeneity and inconsistency are the two major problems of the tissue arrays made from donor paraffin-embedded tissue blocks that are collected from multiple pathology centers. These problems are closely associated with different fixation and processing methods/standards applied in various laboratories.

We acquire fresh tissues directly from our collaborative hospitals. The tissues are promptly fixed (typically within 30 mins of removal) in 10% NBF, and sent to our tissue array center where they are processed, embedded, sectioned and validated all under one roof.  As a result, our tissue arrays have the following major features:

1. Freshly processed within the past one and half years;
2. The same tissue conditions for individual array cores;
3. Large tissue volume - large core size and lasting supply ensuring representative and retrospective studies;
 
Pantomics, Inc.  has a well-equipped tissue processing center with strict SOPs dedicated to tissue bank services and tissue array production.
The center is optimally set-up to achieve consistency in tissue processing.
Optimal fixation and specially formulated dehydration and embedding procedures lead to production of tissue blocks with uniform quality
With high quality paraffin-embedded tissues we can create array blocks with various core sizes, ranging from 1mm to 8mm in any required formats.
Stringent QA/QC procedures and professional design are adapted to ensure the highest tissue array quality.
Pantomics currently makes three major categories of tissue arrays:
1. Arrays for routine IHC controls;
2. Arrays for research and drug discovery;
3. Arrays for education and training.
