The Quick-Ray product line is for use in the Histopathology laboratory to fabricate Tissue Micro-Arrays. The Quick-Ray set are principally used for research purposes.
The Quick-Ray set comes with one puncher, 4 tips of each size, and 1 recipient block of each size, and a base mold (to hold the recipient block while the tissue cores are transferred to it), guide for 1mm recipient block.
A tissue puncher with changeable tips of different diameters. Currently, 4 sizes are available: 1, 2, 3, and 5 mm in diameters. The puncher allows the user to retrieve cylindrical cores of tissues from donor tissues embedded in paraffin blocks. The cores are then distributed into a single use recipient block.
