Ultrahigh density microarrays of solid samples (original) (raw)

Abstract

We present a sectioning and bonding technology to make ultrahigh density microarrays of solid samples, cutting edge matrix assembly (CEMA). Maximized array density is achieved by a scaffold-free, self-supporting construction with rectangular array features that are incrementally scalable. This platform technology facilitates arrays of >10,000 tissue features on a standard glass slide, inclusion of unique sample identifiers for improved manual or automated tracking, and oriented arraying of stratified or polarized samples.
