Join our team in providing a wide range of histology and immunolocalization services to all researchers and help make a difference in human and animal health. Please contact us for…
MPC has joined the BioImaging North American (BINA) consortium. BioImaging North America (BINA) was started during the 2018 “Frontiers in Microscopy Technologies and Strategies for Bioimaging Centers Network” meeting on Janelia Research Campus. It was registered as a US non-profit organization in June 2018 and until the Spring of 2021 was…
In August, we bid a fond farewell to Xian (Lily) Li, postdoctoral fellow, in the Core for two years, who returned to China. She worked tirelessly to provide histology and immunohistology services to our users, particularly during the 2020 pandemic. We hope she can return to the Core in a…
An Olympus VS200 slide scanner was evaluated by multiple users using their sample brightfield and fluorescent slides. The instrument was user-friendly with fast scans that produced clear images for both brightfield and fluorescence. Large format slides (2″ x 3″) were also scanned following H&E staining. Additional features included extended focus…
The UF Department of Medicine Electron Microscopy core will be closing Jan. 31, 2021 with the retirement of Dr. Jill Verlander, Director. Mr. Chao Chen will be joining the MPC staff and continue providing light microscopy services used in the EM Core, including polyester wax embedding, sectioning and staining (see…
We are pleased to offer the Nanostring GeoMX platform through the Molecular Pathology Core and Department of Surgery’s Laboratory of Inflammation Biology and Surgical Science. Technical support is required with the user providing reagents and samples. Please contact us before planning as there are specific requirements for slide preparations. More…
