Research Histology Services

Creative Bioarray provides advanced contract research organization (CRO) histological technology for testing and evaluation of tissue samples. We have a well-equipped laboratory for routine and special methods in histology.

The laboratory is equipped with embedding stations, microtomes, and automated immunostainers. Additional specialized stains may be available upon request. Additional advanced services, including preparation of research tissue microarrays, laser capture microdissection (LCM), and other methods to support tissue-based research may be arranged following consultation with the Lab Director. Please contact the Lab to discuss methods for sample collection and tissue fixation before submitting specimens.
