Yes, we can customize staining protocols to meet your specific requirements. Please discuss your needs with our team.
You have the option to either submit samples in person or ship them to us.
For shipping wet samples, ensure each container is filled to capacity (with either formalin,70% ethanol, or buffered saline) to prevent tissue movement during transit. Seal the containers with parafilm around the lid to maintain integrity. Thus far, we’ve encountered no issues shipping samples across the US-Canada border using 10% buffered formalin, 70% ethanol, buffered saline, or as frozen tissues/blocks on dry ice.
