Tray for tissue biopsy samples, methods of making, and methods of using thereof

摘要

A tissue tray for collecting and organizing tissue biopsy samples as they are analyzed and prepared for histological analysis and other analyses. A tissue tray includes an upper surface and a bottom surface, at least one compartment formed in the upper surface of the tray configured to receive tissue and having one or more fluid conduits passing between openings in the upper and bottom surfaces, and at least one marker configured to indicate the orientation of the tray such that the tray is in the same orientation during radiological analysis and pathological analysis. Methods for fabricating the tray and methods for using the tray are also disclosed herein.

主权项

1. A tissue tray comprising:
a tray having a material conducive to both radiological analysis and to pathological analysis, the tray comprising an upper surface and a bottom surface, wherein the tray material is a transparent and radiolucent material; at least one compartment formed in the upper surface of the tray and recessed toward the bottom surface of the tray, the at least one compartment configured to receive tissue and having one or more fluid conduits passing between openings in the upper and bottom surfaces; and at least one marker configured to indicate an orientation of the tray such that the tray is in the same orientation during radiological analysis and pathological analysis, wherein the at least one marker includes an orientation notch and wherein the at least one marker is located on the tray in a fixed location relative to the tray, and wherein the tray is configured to preserve orientation of tissue placed therein for correlation of radiologic analysis, tissue fixing, and histo-pathological examination.
