The Histochemistry and Tissue Processing Core, (HTPC) is a full service histology laboratory, providing routine and specialty histology techniques for internal, external academic and corporate investigators. Our laboratory has a wide array of instrumentation, and provides consultation for research projects including tissue processing, cryo sectioning, routine staining, special staining, muscle enzyme histochemistry and immuno-histochemistry. The lab offers TMA services, and can prepare slides from normal controls or provide custom arrays from provided sample blocks.
As part of the Department of Biomedical Research at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, the HTPC has been in continuous operation since 1986 and is part of the Delaware’s IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE). Our Core has published numerous papers, posters, abstracts and articles that have contributed to the works of many investigators.
Our lab follows LEAN practices, is CLIA certified, and is staffed by ASCP licensed histologists and research technicians.
