Competitive Advantages
High throughput: the ability to manufacture and screen tissue array slides with over 600 spots per slide and over 5000 spots per study.
Frozen tissue arrays: are especially useful for IHC when the antibodies are not suitable for use in formalin-fixed tissues. TriStar has the largest commercially available repository of frozen tissue arrays.
Tissue collection & quality control: arrays are constructed at the repository where collected under uniform collection and fixation protocols.
Pathology Expertise: Dr. Guido Sauter, Director of the Institue of Pathology at the UKE-Hamburg directs all contract research projects. Dr. Sauter co-invented tissue arrays and is a world-renowned molecular pathologist. He is assisted by a team of 17 pathologists
IHC expertise: 300 antibody protocols and one million immunostains per annum
Unique arrays: built for successful research
