The Histology and Tissue Resource Core offers
the capability of analyzing biological materials using advanced
technologies. It provides seamless service, from initial processing
to final analysis including tissue processing, paraffin embedding
and sectioning, frozen tissue embedding and sectioning, routine
staining, and immunohistochemical detection of antigens of interest.
The Core contains a dedicated tissue processing laboratory fully
equipped with a biosafety hood, refrigerator-freezer, inverted
microscope, and CO2 incubator. In addition, a tissue array apparatus
