To study tissue samples from multiple patients, researchers use tissue microarrays (TMAs), a technology in which hundreds of tissue cores are arranged on a single glass slide for analysis by immunostaining or in situ hybridization. TMAs typically are prepared by punching cores out of paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and relocating them in specific positions in a new block, which is then sliced to produce dozens of slides.
