Services provided:

  • Tissue Processing/Embedding
  • Staining/Immunohistochemistry
  • Filling of Requests for Human Postmortem Brain Tissues

Time Line for Filling of Service Requests

Processing and Staining Requests

Upon delivery of the tissue or slides to the Neuropathology/Histochemistry Core laboratory, the investigator will be given an estimated completion date. He/she will be notified by e-mail when the work has been completed and is ready to be picked up. Small processing requests with no additional stains may be completed in as little as one week. Large immunohistochemistry requests involving hundreds of slides may require several weeks for completion.

Requests for Tissues and Other Materials

Upon receipt of the request, it will be forwarded to the CND Tissue Committee for approval. Once the request has been approved, the investigator will be notified and an estimated date of completion will be provided. He/she will be notified by e-mail when the request has been filled and the samples are ready to be picked up. Small requests of only a few samples may be completed in as little as 1-2 weeks following approval by the Tissue Committee; large requests involving hundreds of samples may require several weeks for completion.
