Tissue processing/paraffin blocks and sections

Preparation of histological sections from tissues provided by investigators.

Tissue sectioning from frozen blocks

Preparation of OCT frozen block and histological cryosections from tissues provided by investigators.

HE staining and special stain (Trichrome stain, etc.)

H&E and other traditional histological techniques for microscopic evaluation of tissues and cells.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC), since and multiplex IHC staining

Detection of cancer-related proteins in tissue sections. Multiple immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays enable detection of multiple targets in one section.

Single IHC Staining

Available Double IHC panels

Interpretative pathology and histopathology reports

Facility pathologists read slides and report on abnormalities found when requested.

Digital photography

Facility pathologists document microscopic findings when requested

Digital whole slide scan

IHC manual score and digital image analysis

Advanced computer-assisted image analyzers that permit morphometric and densitometric analysis of tissue components and IHC reactions.

Tissue Microarray analysis (morphology and IHC evaluation)

Facility pathologists provide the morphology and IHC evaluation of Tissue microarray slide.

Laser Capture Microdissection

Capable of isolating Normal, Tumor, or Stroma components from either frozen and paraffin sections. Insure the pure cell populations for downstream DNA, RNA and proteomics analysis.
