The Histology Core Facility at the MIT Center for Cancer Research has been established to assist the investigator in producing quality histological slides.

We have the equipment and expertise to produce sections from frozen, paraffin-embedded, and resin-embedded tissues. We can produce routine hematoxylin and eosin stained slides and special stains, and can provide assistance to investigators performing immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and in-situ hybridization.

With these tools, the investigator will be better able to evaluate the pathologic consequences of various mutations or treatments.

Please take a few minutes to read through this information and complete a requisition (the standard form or the form for special services) before bringing your specimens to the Histology Facility.
