The Research Center for Liver Disease Liver Histology(LH) Core

The Liver Histology Core provides basic histology services to the members of the Research Center for Liver Disease members. We do processing, sectioning and staining for animal tissues of formalin fixed specimens, which need to be submitted in 70% alcohol. (We can do processing and embedding of such tissues for nonmember investigators, but not sectioning.) We also provide frozen sectioning of animal tissue for our members only.
