Journal of Medical Devices, Transactions of the ASME 5 (4) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4004922 | Abstract: | Tissue micro array (TMA) is based on the idea of applying miniaturization and a high throughput approach to hybridization-based analyses of tissues. It facilitates biomedical research on a large scale in a single experiment; thus representing one of the most commonly used technologies in translational research. A critical analysis of the existing TMA instruments indicates that there are potential constraints in terms of portability, apart from costs and complexity. This paper will present the development of an affordable, configurable, and portable TMA instrument to allow an efficient collection of tissues, especially in instrument-to-tissue scenarios. The purely mechanical instrument requires no energy sources other than the user, is light weight, portable, and simple to use. © 2011 American Society of Mechanical Engineers. | Source Title: | Journal of Medical Devices, Transactions of the ASME | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/50896 | ISSN: | 19326181 | DOI: | 10.1115/1.4004922 |
