Design & Consultancy

D & E Pic1The founders of Histotech have over 25 years experience in the field and can use this knowledge to enhance the value of our customer’s studies. Our staff remain active in research and keep abreast of new developments in the field, making sure your studies benefit from state-of-the-art technology.

Too many trials have been designed with focus mainly on the experimental timecourse and without enough consideration given to the requirements of the subsequent outputs. Inadequate planning of the histology requirements wastes time and money; frequently leading to compromised analysis and even the unnecessary repetition of trials.

Histological evaluation of multiple markers requires careful planning and optimisation at the design phase, prior to starting any experiment. Looking at multiple markers often requires several different fixation strategies with replicates of each included into the study design. To ensure success the fixation strategies, antigen retrieval methods and antibodies should be evaluated prior to completing experimental design of a major study.

With Histotech consultancy your studies will yield clearer, more reliable results, reducing scope for misinterpretation by including relevant controls. Ultimately getting these processes right will save time and money in animal and in vitro trials.
