The histology service offers comprehensive expertise dedicated to the preparation and analysis of biological samples.
Supporting fresh, frozen or paraffin-embedded tissues, the TRI-Genotoul platforms cover the entire workflow, from embedding (in paraffin or Technovit resin) to the final staining of slides. A wide range of equipment is made available to meet the requirements of each research project.
