Tissue Banking and Tissue Microarrays

Drug development is increasingly highly dependant on access to high quality human normal and diseased tissues, sourced from the human clinical environment. It is vital that banked tissue samples are evaluated by a qualified human diagnostic pathologist to confirm the original clinical diagnosis and assess sample suitability for downstream genetic studies, immunohistochemical analysis or tissue microarray use.

We offer expert, fast and efficient analysis of human tissues including:

• Tissue clinical diagnosis, adequacy of tissue sample, assessment of tissue fixation, evaluation of % lesion, % inflammation and % necrosis.
• Tissue evaluation and marking prior to tissue microarray manufacture, post manufacture core assessment, antigenicity scoring and evaluation of haematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining.
• Preparation of full report spreadsheets tailored to customer needs, using standard ontologies.
