New Array Construction For initial
consultation regarding construction of a new TMA, please contact
Helen Fedor (pager 410 283-3419). We will set up a meeting with
Helen and either Drs. De Marzo or Halushka to discuss array
design, construction, pricing, data handling, HIPPA/IRB issues, and
image handling.
Requesting TMA Slides from an
Existing TMA If you are the PI or are designated as the PI
for a particular TMA that already exists, simply fill out the
requisition form including budget and IRB approval number.
If you are not the PI for the array, you may wish to contact
the PI regarding using TMA slides from an existing array for your
own research. We require written (email is OK) acknowledgement that
it is OK for us to provide you with TMA slides from that array.
Please include the number of slides.
TMA
Production Once agreed upon, the investigator will collect
all blocks and slides for the cases to be arrayed, will circle the
regions of interest and will enter the data into the TMAJ database
for array construction. Blocks and slides are then dropped off to
the Bond Street basement JHU TMA Core Facility Laboratory and our
lab commences making the array.
Turn Around Time
Depending on current demand the turn around time can vary
between 5 days and 3 weeks.
Pricing Having
constructed numerous arrays over the last several years we have
arrived at a pricing structure for TMA that is commensurate with our
costs. We feel that our pricing is very competitive as compared to
those offered by other institutions and that we can provide
significant value and expertise.
Pricing and Requisition Forms These
forms may be filled out electronically with Acrobat 6.0, or printed
and filled out.
