How We Master Tissue Sectioning
While the mechanical aspect of sectioning is significant, the artisanal finesse of a skilled histotech cannot be underestimated. For both paraffin-embedded and frozen sections, we:
Prioritize Precision
Our technique and protocols, honed through years of expertise, ensure each cut is consistently clean and precise.
Offer Flexibility
Whether working with frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue we offer flexibility in sectioning approaches. Section thickness can be adjusted based on tissue preparation methods while also catering to your specific needs.
Ensure Consistency
Utilizing multiple benchtop microtomes and cryostat microtomes, your sections are prepared with unwavering quality.
Champion Skill
Our technicians are armed with state-of-the-art instrumentation and lab conditions. This allows them to masterfully navigate the sectioning process.
Adjustable Section Thickness
STELLα will work with you to adjust the details of the sectioning protocol to suit your needs. Different experimental designs and staining approaches benefit from different ranges of section thicknesses. Paraffin sections can be cut between 0.5 to 60 µm, and frozen sections can be cut between 1 to 99 µm.
