Short Description
The Core Facility Histology operates all necessary equipment for the traditional preparation of histological samples at the Center for Medical Research, for processing at room temperature (FFPE samples) as well as at low temperatures (cryofixation). It is equipped with modern imaging techniques and scanners that enable rapid analysis in brightfield and fluorescence, as well as the identification of up to 100 biological markers in a single tissue section. Furthermore the CF has a device for spatial transcriptomics. Hereby up to 5.000 genes can be detected on a histological tissue within 1 week. In addition to training on equipment, the Core Facility Histology also offers consultations in the areas of sample preparation and sample processing.
