General information:

The Histology core facility provides services such as histo-processing, paraffin embedding, paraffin sectioning, frozen sectioning and immuno-histochemistry.

There is room for self-service on the ventilated benches: deparaffinization, dehydration and coverslip mounting. Upon agreement, there is a lab bench available to use for immunohistochemistry work. A cryostat for frozen sectioning can be only used by the trained users and it is charged by the hour through iLab. There is a light microscope for slides’ viewing and capturing the images.
