As your histology lab staff know well, doing a necropsy is extremely complex, and it requires exacting detail to evaluate animal tissue.

When you're in the middle of research or trying to get a product approved by the FDA, histopathology is what's going to help you every step of the way.

Stem cell therapy has advanced significantly over the last decade. In particular, it has shown promising results in regenerating cells in certain tissues of critical importance for life but limited natural ability to regenerate, including the central nervous system and myocardium.

Time is of the essence in the realm of contract research organizations, academic institutions, pharma and biotech -- but so are accuracy and affordability.

Are you considering the addition of immunohistochemistry (IHC) to your preclinical toxicology study design? IHC integrates molecular pathology and traditional histopathology to allow the visualization of test compounds or cellular targets in situ.

You may depend heavily upon histopathology and the reports that follow. Regardless of whether you are a clinic, a contract research organization, a pharmaceutical company, or anyone else, the information that you get from histopathology can be critical.

Your lab is preparing to run a general toxicity study. You review the Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) for the optimal tissue list. Brain is just one of the many required tissues, so what’s the big deal? Those histopathology folks will know what to do with it, right?

Businesses and organizations have similar reasons for outsourcing non-core functions, yet some functions are more crucial than others.

One major challenge you're likely experiencing in your histology lab is that you're seeing tremendous growth thanks to the support of sponsors on your studies. However, do you really know how you're going to keep up with demands if you stay in your current laboratory?

As a histology lab, using stains in your microscopy work is likely a routine part of your operations. Enhancing contrast and highlighting structures in your slides is obviously an important part in gaining accurate results in your tests.
