Histology/Immunohistochemistry Core

The Department of Veterinary Biosciences offers routine and advanced histology and immunohistochemistry services, supporting the diagnostic needs of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital as well as the needs of research investigators campus-wide. The Histology Laboratory is managed by a certified Histotechnologist (HTL) and staffed by 2 certified Histology Technicians (HT) and an IHC specialist. The lab is directed by a board certified veterinary pathologist.

The lab prides itself on generating rapid turn-around of the highest quality histologically prepared animal tissue specimens. The Histology lab staff possesses considerable experience with a wide range of animal models and specimen types including ocular and orthopedic tissue.

Immunohistochemical staining techniques are optimized for animal tissue; a particular area of emphasis is the development of immunohistochemical staining techniques suitable for mouse tissues. New staining protocols are added periodically, so please check this site for updates on the laboratory’s capabilities.
