For researchers without easy access to histology equipment or the services of a histotechnologist, the CHTN offers additional specimen processing subsequent to procurement so that specimens arrive in your lab ready to use. Touch preps can be made from fresh or frozen tissues. We can provide paraffin sections and frozen sections in addition to or in place of solid tissue samples. Sections can be prepared on standard charged or plain glass slides, and they may be stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) or left unstained. Thick sections, scrolls or a ribbon of serial sections may also be provided. Our histology SOPs strive to maintain the highest possible specimen quality and minimize the possibility of cross-contamination. Some of these services incur a small additional charge. Please refer to our pricing structure or contact us for details.
