A DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR CORRELATING MEDICAL IMAGING AND SAMPLING OF A BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN

The present disclosure relates to a device, a kit and a method for image guided stereotaxic sampling and oriented sectioning of a biological specimen for correlating 3D medical imaging to spatial transcriptomics. One embodiment relates to a device for holding a biological specimen during medical imaging, said device comprising a non-magnetic supporting base and at least two rows of non-magnetic elements, wherein the device is configured for sustaining the biological specimen on the non-magnetic supporting base between the at least two rows of non-magnetic elements such that the biological specimen can be sliced along the non-magnetic elements into slices of a predetermined thickness and orientation after medical imaging. A method of correlating medical imaging and sampling of a biological specimen is also disclosed.
