Histology / Staining



Histology helps visualizing and analyzing the morphology of an organ, and describing the specific structures of tissues and cells.




Novotec processes samples from their reception to the interpretation of the results. Novotec carries out paraffin embedding, freezing and resin embedding (Epoxy or MMA), tissue section and staining. Depending on the client’s project, appropriate staining is suggested. Observations and interpretation of the results can be included in the service through a detailed report (french or english) and selected photo plates.
