Histology, derived from the Greek term meaning “tissue science,” encompasses specialized techniques for the microscopic examination of tissues using optical, fluorescence, or electron microscopy. Histopathology and cytopathology are closely related disciplines focusing on tissue and cellular analysis, respectively, and are critical for disease diagnosis including cancers, infections, and inflammatory conditions.
We provide an extensive portfolio of products and technologies tailored for diverse histology, histopathology, and cytopathology applications, all certified for CE marking and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use, ensuring compliance with European regulatory standards.
Key Offerings and Features
Tissue Preparation: Comprehensive reagents and kits for fixation, dehydration, rehydration, tissue embedding, mounting media, immersion oils, and dewaxing – essential for maintaining sample integrity.
Staining Techniques:
- Classical Staining: Hematoxylin, Masson Trichrome, Papanicolaou for routine morphology visualization.
- Special Staining: Targeted detection of bacteria (Gram stain, Ziehl-Neelsen, Warthin-Starry), lipid inclusions (Oil Red O), and other specific tissue components.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Precise protein localization using antigen-specific antibodies labeled with enzymes (HRP, AP): includes primary/secondary antibodies, normal sera, detection kits (Avidin/Biotin, polymer systems), buffers (blocking, antigen retrieval), and chromogenic substrates (AEC, DAB).
Advantages of CE/IVD Histopathology and Cytopathology Products
- Reliability through regulatory compliance ensures consistent diagnostic outcomes.
- Enhanced diagnostic accuracy via robust staining and molecular techniques.
- Versatility across a wide spectrum of diseases and research settings.
