Imaging Sample Preparation Service—Leica HPM100

Before imaging, the sample needs to be processed. Different sample preparation methods are used for different samples and usually involve sampling, fixation, tissue and sectioning, staining/immunohistochemistry/in situ hybridization, and sealing. Sample preparation is essential to obtain clear and realistic imaging results. CD BioSciences offers different sample preparation services for different imaging methods. We are proud to offer you our Leica HPM100-based imaging sample preparation service.
