A millitome (from Latin mille, meaning "thousand," as in millimeter, and the Greek temnein meaning "to cut") is a device designed to hold a freshly procured organ and facilitate cutting it into many small tissue blocks for usage in single-cell analysis. A millitome has discrete, equally placed cutting grooves in both the x and y directions to guide a carbon steel cutting knife to produce uniformly sized slices or cubes of tissue material. Millitome design and usage was developed by the HIVE MC-IU Team, Indiana University (PI: Katy Börner; NIH Award No: OT2OD026671) and members of the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center (CNS) for the Human Reference Atlas project, which is part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health Common Fund’s Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP).

| - A millitome (from Latin mille, meaning "thousand," as in millimeter, and the Greek temnein meaning "to cut") is a device designed to hold a freshly procured organ and facilitate cutting it into many small tissue blocks for usage in single-cell analysis. A millitome has discrete, equally placed cutting grooves in both the x and y directions to guide a carbon steel cutting knife to produce uniformly sized slices or cubes of tissue material. Millitome design and usage was developed by the HIVE MC-IU Team, Indiana University (PI: Katy Börner; NIH Award No: OT2OD026671) and members of the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center (CNS) for the Human Reference Atlas project, which is part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health Common Fund’s Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP). Millitomes are used to create uniformly sized tissue blocks that match the shape and size of organs from HuBMAP's 3D Reference Object Library. A millitome has an associated digital data package that includes an STL file, a spreadsheet for assigning spatial locations to HuBMAP IDs, and a metadata file with information about the size, dimensions, donor sex, and laterality of the reference organ for which the millitome is fitted. The procedures outlined here describe how millitomes are generated and how spatial locations for each slice or cube are retained in the Human Reference Atlas. (en)
