Guidelines for Custom Multi-Use Tissue Arrays
Tissue arrays (pre-made and custom) are sold in units of five slides: 4 unstained + 1 pre-stained slide (H&E, unless otherwise requested)
The minimum order for custom tissue arrays is 10 units
The species/tissues available for custom arrays can be found in the catalog for regular tissue slides
The basic price for the generation of custom arrays is added to our regular price for tissue arrays. For each biopsy from tissues not requiring special orientation add CAN$4.00/set. For each biopsy from tissues requiring special orientation add CAN$5.00/set. Minimum number of biopsies/paraffin block is 10
All prices are in Canadian Dollars. Quick currency converter
All prices stand for single section on standard slides. If applicable,other formats are available upon request.
Unless otherwise required by the client, biopsy size and specific orientation will be chosen based on our standard procedures
The final price for custom designs varies with the size of the biopsies and complexity. Please call for a quotation
Core size and shape varies between 1mm to 5mm, depending on the tissue
typical size of the paraffin block: 10/10/;.15/15; 23/23; 23/28; 23/35 mm;
How to calculate the final price for a custom array
Example 1: Custom array comprising 10 regular biopsies Regular unit of tissue arrays = CAN$300.00 10 regular biopsies x CAN$4.00 = CAN$40.00 One set of customized tissue arrays: CAN$300.00 + CAN$40.00 = CAN$340.00 |
Example 2: Custom array comprising 100 regular biopsies Regular unit of tissue arrays = CAN$300.00 100 regular biopsies x CAN$4.00 = CAN$400.00 One set of customized tissue arrays: CAN$300.00 + CAN$400.00 = CAN$700.00 |
Example 3: Custom array comprising 20 mixed biopsies Regular unit of tissue arrays = CAN$300.00 10 regular biopsies x CAN$4.00 = CAN$40.00 10 oriented biopsies x CAN$5.00 = CAN$50.00 One set of customized tissue arrays: CAN$300.00 + CAN$40.00 + CAN$50.00 = CAN$390.00 |
