Research pathology
Research pathology services
A transparent view of how we move specimens from receipt through to quantified results. Every service below supports preclinical, discovery, and translational research programs.
Share your study design and we'll tell you what's feasible, what it costs, and how long it takes before you commit.
The workflow
- 1
Accessioning & intake
Specimens logged, tracked, and QC'd on receipt. Chain of custody documented throughout.
- 2
Grossing, trimming & processing
Dictation and trimming to your protocol; tissue processing for FFPE or frozen workflows.

Embedding & sectioning
Standard 4–5 µm sections on positively charged slides. Custom thickness, serial sections, and step sections on request.
- 4
Staining
H&E, special stains, single-plex IHC, or multiplex immunofluorescence, depending on your study.
- 5
Whole-slide imaging
Brightfield and fluorescence scanning on our own equipment. Digital slides available for review and archived for your program.
- 6
Quantitative image analysis
Cell detection, classification, marker quantification, co-expression analysis, and spatial metrics. Delivered as data tables alongside annotated images.
- 7
Pathologist evaluation
Qualified pathologist assessment of research specimens where your study calls for it. Reported as research findings.
- 8
Reporting
Results delivered with methods documented, so your team can interpret and reproduce them.
