Tissue processing and sectioning
The core processes paraffin (FFPE) and frozen tissue, embeds it and cuts sections, on the Leica RM2245 microtome or the CryoStar NX50 cryostat.
Fix your tissue before it comes in. Standard turnaround is usually 15 to 20 business days from drop-off, once the request is complete; rush orders take 4 business days.
