- produce routine hematoxylin and eosin stained slides (H&E).
- perform most standard stains as well as immunohistochemistry and antibody workup.
Histopathology Services
- The Pathology core supports a full range of basic pathology services.
- We accept wet fixed tissue specimens as well as frozen samples.
- Wet samples (FFPE) are processed on our Leica automated tissue processor.
- We provide materials needed for processing of your specimens.
Facilities
- The Pathology Core has three microtomes and two embedding stations and two cryostats.
- There are storage areas for wet tissue, blocks, slides, and antibodies at 4 degrees, -20, and -80.
Immunohistochemistry Services
- The core lab can perform immunohistochemistry (IHC) using the Nemisis autostainer that allow us to run 72 slides under uniform conditions.
- The core also provides an antibody "workup" services to test novel or untried antibodies on your tissue of interest.
