For over 30 years Propath has offered a full range of contract histology services – from routine to more complex techniques, across all species.
Services include tissue trimming, embedding, sectioning, H&E staining and special stains, all performed by highly trained and experienced technicians within a fully GLP and GCP compliant environment.
We operate an integrated quality management system throughout our facility covering all aspects of our service, including handling of tissues, subject confidentiality, study documentation, Quality Assurance, staff training, equipment maintenance and use of validated SOPs.
