Morphological Phenotype Analysis Core Facility (FENO)

The unit has its own histological laboratory with advanced instruments for automatic multiplex immunohistochemistry, RNA in situ hybridization, and slide-scanner. Samples are registered individually using barcode to facilitate sample identification, data documentation, and digital scanning of sections. Imaging data is documented and digitalized using light, polarized and fluorescence slide scanner or multispectral fluorescence microscopy, followed by image analysis using different programs.

The Preclinical Imaging Core Facility (PIF), the Morphological Phenotype Analysis (FENO) and Portal South are all core facilities that offer services connected to the animal facility Preclinical Laboratory (PKL) at Campus Flemingsberg. The close collaboration between the core facilities makes transfer between facilities seamless.
