Many labs have turned to tissue microarrays (TMAs) for validating antibodies
for IHC testing as a matter of convenience and lower cost. Ideally, the
tissues used to make the TMA(s) should be fixed in the formalin that is used in
your laboratory, as well as processed in your Histology laboratory
All you would need to do is id the tissue and dx on your paperwork. it should
not be any different than running each blocks alone.

Does anyone have experience validating antibodies using tissue microarrays? Is
this a preferred method? I was thinking of punching different tissues/cases,
then embedding them in one block, and then validating the antibody. Please
advise.
Thank you.
