VPS has a complete GLP-compliant histology laboratory that is capable of processing all types of animal tissues and medical devices.
Our Laboratory Director has over 25 years of experience in managing a GLP histology laboratory. Our laboratory staff includes 7 senior histologists, 14 histology technicians, and 3 research associates.
For routine paraffin histology, tissue cassettes and slides are auto-labeled by machine in order to provide consistent labeling without loss of information over time. Autostainers are used for H&E staining to provide consistent staining among all slides and tissues, and a variety of special stains are offered: e.g., Masson Trichrome, Safranin-O Fast Green, Toluidine Blue, Gram stain, etc.
In addition to routine H&E histology, we specialize in providing nonstandard paraffin histology support for decalcified and/or oversized tissues, medical device studies, and projects that are considered too difficult for most paraffin laboratories.
