Histology
- The CVP lab at TAMU uses cutting-edge plastic histology
techniques developed in-house to section medical devices and the
surrounding tissue without first removing the devices. This gives
pathologists a clear and accurate view of the implant site and
provides new insight into the host response to metal and polymer
implants.
- These plastic histology techniques enable the sectioning of
complex vascular lesions, calcific plaques, and bone without loss
of tissue architecture and without requiring prior
decalcification.
Exakt Grinding and Tissue Embedding
Using the Exakt grinding and tissue embedding system, slide
samples for histology can be prepared for imaging and analysis of
metal, bone, and other hard samples. Our trained technicians can
produce microscopic sections of sample at less than 20 micrometers
thickness and stain with a variety of colorants including H&E
and VVG/Elastin.
Paraffin Embedding
Currently all of our paraffin histology is outsourced to other
labs. The CVPath Lab is working toward developing an in house
paraffin histology lab.
