ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of the holidays, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday, January 20th, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday, January 21st, 2025. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
It is the goal of the Electron Microscopy, Histopathology and Tissue Bank Core to provide the research community with the technical services necessary for growth and development in the world of investigative research. The services that will be provided by the Core are essential to an institution upholding a status of high recognition nationally and internationally. At a time when new discoveries generated by basic biomedical research are applied to pathology practice, accessibility to the most modern scientific methods becomes imperative.
Electron Microscopy
Histopathology - The goal of the Pathology Research Histology Laboratory is to assist the research community by providing access to high quality, timely and cost-effective histologic services. Available routine histologic procedures include gross processing of tissue and cellular specimens, paraffin embedding, sectioning, and staining (both routine histologic and immunohistochemical stains). Advanced services, including development of specialized histologic stains, novel immunostains, and tissue microarray construction, are available in consultation with the core lab director.
Tissue Bank
Tissues are obtained fresh, frozen in liquid nitrogen, embedded in the cryopreservative O.C.T., formalin fixed paraffin embedded, and/or using specific collection media provided by the researcher
