Description:

The BIDMC Histology Core does routine paraffin and frozen sectioning on tissues for research purposes. We offer consultation services, and fee-for-service tissue grossing, processing, embedding, sectioning and staining. Special stains are also done routinely. Paraffin-embedded or frozen sections can be passed-on to a partner core, the BIDMC-Confocal and Immunostaining core, for DAB or fluorescence staining and analysis. No training or independent usage of the Histology core or its equipment is possible.
