On-site Necropsy & Histopathogy Support

Our teams of experienced and carefully trained technicians can provide necropsy and histopathology services at your facility. Members of these teams are trained in all aspects of necropsy procedures, including special tissue harvesting associated with biomedical devices (stents, implants, etc.) and the use of whole-body or organ perfusion technology routinely employed in conjunction with neurotoxicolgic protocols or studies having ultrastructural requirements.

  • Traveling necropsy team providing support and training
  • Necropsy supervision from board-certified pathologists
  • In-depth understanding of industry GLP, regulatory guidelines and specifications
  • Specialized tissue collection, including whole-body or organ perfusion
  • Freezing of tissues for genomic or proteomic analysis and immunohistochemistry
  • Aseptic tissue collection techniques for PCR analysis

In addition to standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histology, we perform a wide variety of special stains. Stains are available for localization of carbohydrates, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, enzymes and cellular structures. A full battery of special stains is offered, including immunohistochemistry and RNase-free slides for in situ hybridization.

  • Specialized histochemical stains for specific cellular components
  • Plastic processing (GMA) for producing thin sections in support of reproductive pathology and neuropathology
  • Plastic embedding (MMA) for microtomy of hard tissues and devices
