TISSUE SECTION

Pathology Research Platform

Foundational histology services—tissue fixation, dehydration, paraffin embedding, serial sectioning and frozen sectioning—connectable to H&E staining and immunohistochemistry, providing standardized sample preparation for tissue-morphology observation, protein-localization studies and pathological analysis.

Service Scope

SERVICE SCOPE

Item	Notes
Paraffin sections	Fixation, dehydration, embedding and serial sectioning (typically 4–5 μm)
Frozen sections	OCT embedding and snap-freezing, cryosectioning (typically 8–10 μm)
H&E staining	Routine histomorphological staining and imaging
Immunohistochemistry	Tissue localization and expression analysis of target proteins (antibodies purchasable on request)

Sample Requirements

SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS

Fresh tissue

Fix promptly (4% paraformaldehyde)

Fixed tissue

Ample fixative; ship at 4°C

Frozen tissue

Ship on dry ice at -80°C

Sampling requirements: moderately sized tissue blocks (≤1.5 cm recommended); fix for 24–48 hours and avoid over-fixation.

Submission notes: specify tissue origin, sampling site and sectioning requirements; embed frozen samples in OCT and ship on dry ice.

FAQ

How long does a Pathology Research Platform project take?

Standard projects take 1-3 weeks depending on complexity and sample size; projects involving cell modeling or multi-batch processing follow the confirmed study plan.

Can we provide our own reagents or antibodies?

Yes. You may supply key reagents/antibodies, or we can purchase them per the study plan. Please include datasheets and storage conditions for supplied materials.

Does the report include raw data?

Yes. Deliverables include raw records (membrane images, raw values, image files) together with processed statistical results — fully traceable.

What samples do you need for Pathology Research Platform?

ELISA serum/plasma ≥50 μL, WB lysate ≥20 μg protein, flow samples ≥100 μL (within 24 h), tissue ≥0.5 cm³ (4% PFA 24–48 h; OCT-embedded, dry ice). See Technical Resources → Sample Guide.
