  • Method for Making a Microarray Block
    Publication number: 20240248015
    Abstract: A method for making a microarray block with a recipient block formed from a material and having at least one bore therein. A cylindrical core of a biological sample and a carrier medium can be provided. At least a portion of the core can be disposed in the at least one bore of the recipient block. The core can be made compatible with the material of the recipient block before the disposing step. Related methods and assemblies are provided.

  • Assembly for use with biological sample material
    Patent number: 11946840
    Abstract: An assembly including a cassette having a support layer. At least a portion of the support layer is embedded in a recipient block formed from an agarose gel for securing the recipient block to the cassette. The recipient block has a surface spaced from the support layer and is provided with at least one bore extending from the surface into the recipient block that is adapted to receive a biological sample material. A method for forming an assembly is provided.

  • Apparatus for producing high yield cores for use in a microarray block, method for using same
    Patent number: 11300486
    Abstract: A method for making a microarray block with a recipient block having at least one bore therein. A mold having a cylindrical bore with a cross-sectional shape approximating the cross-sectional shape of the at least one bore of the recipient block can be provided. The first end of the mold can have an opening that communicates with a cylindrical bore of the mold. A biological sample and a liquid carrier medium can be introduced through the opening and solidified in the mold to form a core. The core can be removed from the mold and at least a portion of the core can be inserted into the at least one bore of the recipient block. Related methods and assemblies are provided.
