Are there charges for Tissue Microarrays?

Academic cost for Colon TMAs: $800/8 slides (duplicate sections from 4 case sets), additional slides: $400/4 slides

Industry cost for Colon TMAs: $2400/8 slides (duplicate sections from 4 case sets), additional slides: $1200/4 slides

What happens after my LOI is approved?

The investigator will be asked to sign an Agreement Form (agreement), to submit a purchase order for the costs of the TMAs, and to provide a shipping service account number. When these have been returned, a mutually agreeable shipment date is selected. Once the slides are shipped, the investigator is sent an invoice and is also sent the TMA maps (example of a Colon TMA map) and scoresheet (example of a Colon TMA scoresheet). When the invoice has been paid and the scoresheets are returned, the investigator will receive the data file and the data manual (example of a Colon TMA Data Manual).
