Routine and Special Immunostaining

IHC has become a routine and essential research tool in laboratories. We provide routine IHC staining using validated antibodies for single and duplex IHC assays. We develop and perform custom IHC and enzyme assays as well as routine stains.

Biomarker Testing and Custom Assay Development

Our scientists have extensive experience in IHC and histopathology assays. With custom assay development capabilities, we can design an assay to specific requirements, procure stains or antibodies, and transfer protocols.

High Quality Standards

From routine to custom IHC assays, our CLIA-certified lab provides the expertise for your immunohistochemistry project. We can provide validated antibodies for IHC, multiplex staining, and process FFPE samples as needed.

Board-Certified Pathologists

In addition to providing standard pathology services including tissue processing, paraffin embedding, and sectioning, we offer the expertise of our board-certified pathologists, who review slides, score tumors and guide macrodissections.

Digital Scanning & Analysis

We provide image scanning and delivery from IHC and H&E staining. We can provide standard H&E and IHC analysis or review and scoring by a board-certified pathologist.

IHC-workflow-@2x

Immunohistochemistry enables the analysis of target proteins, both qualitatively and quantitatively, providing protein expression information in a histological setting. Our typical IHC workflow is shown in the image above and is composed of several steps:

  • Tissue Preparation
  • Epitope Retrieval and Blocking Off-Target Binding
  • Antibody Staining
  • Detection and Imaging
  • Counterstaining
  • Image Analysis

Routine and Custom Stains

From routine H&E staining to common IHC markers such as Ki67, CD4 and CD8, or custom marker development – we can be your trusted partner.
