Our Core-Facility provides a central infrastructure for high through-put, high- quality and high-speed Histology using state-of-the-art technologies on validated and fully automated systems performed by experienced operators.
Tissue-based analyses are essential for scientific achievements across the entire spectrum of research activities, from fundamental to preclinical/translational and clinical research.
Histology is a powerful tool used for the identification of certain structures, individual cell-types and with immunohistochemistry technology of target proteins. This is effective in assessing the localisation of proteins in the cell, comparing the protein-expression in a heterogeneous cell population, and can be used to identify sub-populations of cells based on specific markers. It is important in the post-genomic era and necessary for uncovering protein function. Additional in situ hybridization allows precise localization of a specific segment of nucleic acid, using riboprobes also asses the degree of protein expression.
Quality assurance and quality control take part throughout the whole workflow at the different levels of customer reporting, sample preparation, sample processing, staining, digital pathology and data analysis for reproducible, reliable results.
Project consulting supports you in study design, choice of technology, supervision in result parts and drawing conclusions to get answers to your scientific questions in an efficient manner.
