The Big Baby of the Lab.
Tissue processing / Resin Embedding
Pelco BioWave Pro
Temperature controlled, variable wattage, vacuum assisted. A real workhorse and time-saver. We can process 1-24 samples at a time, and process LRWhite with outstanding polymerization. Cuts days (!) off of routine sample processing times.
Not pictured is our vacuum oven: we can also polymerize any of the phenolic epoxies under vacuum or inert atmospheres.
Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) / Slide Scanning
Leica / Aperio CS2
Shipping glass still works. Scanning glass works faster.
To reduce turnaround times and speed consultation, the toluidine blue slides generated as part of the localization of target area are scanned. Or, of course, if the scope of the project is just the generation of T-Blues, they’re scanned, too.
The images are uploaded to our in-house server, then can be directly viewed through any browser or can be downloaded to your system for storage/analysis. Scans are performed at 40x, 20x by request.
