Histological Stain Services Molecular Techniques Features

Histopathological examination of tissue biopsies is an invaluable diagnostic tool in the realm of infection research. This technique goes beyond mere identification of pathogens, offering insights into the disease process, tissue response, and progression of infection. By examining tissue morphology, cellular architecture, and pathological changes, we can provide a comprehensive understanding of the infection dynamics within the host animal organism. BioVenic specializes in providing comprehensive histopathology services tailored to meet the needs of researchers in the field of animal infection studies. As a leading Contract Research Organization, we understand the critical role that histopathological examination plays in understanding disease processes, rather than merely identifying individual pathogenic microorganisms. Our goal is to support your research endeavors with precise, reliable, and timely histopathological analysis, helping you to unlock the complexities of infectious diseases in animal models.

Comprehensive Histological Stain Services

Histological staining is fundamental to histopathology, enhancing tissue contrast and allowing for detailed examination under a microscope. Combined with digital pathology, we offer a wide range of staining techniques allow for the visualization of a variety of microorganisms and pathological changes in tissues, providing critical information for animal infection research. Our services include sampling advising, paraffin and frozen slide preparation, develop and perform from routine to specialized staining for animal tissue samples, as well as visualizing and analysis.

Advanced Molecular Techniques

While traditional histological stains are powerful tools, certain instances require more specific and sensitive techniques to establish a definitive analysis of animal infection. Our laboratory is equipped with advanced molecular techniques and offer customized assay development services.

  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
    This technique utilizes antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue sections. IHC is invaluable for identifying specific pathogens, understanding immune responses, and characterizing cellular markers associated with infection and inflammation.
  • In Situ Hybridization (ISH)
    ISH allows for the localization of specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections. This technique is particularly useful for detecting viral genomes and bacterial DNA/RNA within infected tissues, providing spatial context to molecular data.
  • Nucleic Acid Amplification
    Techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) amplify specific nucleic acid sequences, allowing for the detection of low-abundance pathogens. These methods are highly sensitive and specific, making them ideal for identifying elusive infectious agents.

Features of Infection Histopathology Services

  • Animal tissue samples undergo meticulous processing, including fixation, dehydration, clearing, embedding in paraffin wax, sectioning, mounting onto glass slides, and staining, ensuring high-quality preparation for microscopic examination.
  • In addition to standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, we offer a broad range of specialized stains such as AB/PAS, Masson's Trichrome, Reticulin, Giemsa, Elastin Van Giesson, MSB, PTAH, OGF, silver impregnation, and Oil Red O. These techniques enhance the visualization and analysis of specific animal infection-related tissues and cell types.

  • Our histopathology services are ideal for veterinary non-regulatory studies, including efficacy studies, pharmacodynamics (PD) studies, pharmacokinetics (PK) studies, and dose escalation studies, with experienced teams assisting in standard or custom trimming planes, blocking codes, and species-specific processing schedules.

BioVenic is committed to advancing the field of animal infection research through excellence in histopathology services. By providing detailed insights into the animal infection process, we aim to support your efforts in understanding animal infectious diseases, developing effective treatments, and improving animal health. Our comprehensive histopathology services are designed to meet your research needs, including bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection studies. For more information about our services or to discuss your specific research requirements, please contact us.
