Wax It Overview Full

customized solutions for your research

Our Focus
We are a preclinical histopathology CRO offering general histology
services (paraffin and frozen), immunohistochemistry services
(general IHC, antibody testing/validation, cross-reactivity studies),
GLP histopathology for preclinical toxicology studies, and resin
sectioning for implantable medical devices and bone.

Key Markets
- Drug Development (Biotech/Pharmaceutical)
- Medical Device
- Commercial Antibody
- Antibody Therapeutics
- Academic Institutes
- Environmental & Government Organizations



General Histology (Discovery, Preclinical, GLP)
- Paraffin and frozen services - grossing, processing, embedding,
sectioning , and slide staining (H&E and special stains).
- GLP histopathology for preclinical toxicology studies.
- Full Pathology reporting (GLP and non GLP).
- Digital microscopy imaging, digital whole slide scanning, staining
quantification, Pathological scoring/analysis, report generation.
- Plant histology for environmental applications.



Resin Histology: Medical Device & Bone
- Soft and hard tissues, implanted medical devices, and bone.
- Custom protocols.
- Imaging and data analysis.
- Work with a variety of resins to best match the material/device:
- Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
- Glycol Methacrylate (GMA)
- Spurr's Epoxy



Sample Devices
- Stents
- Artificial muscle
- Heart valves
- Silk and artificial fibres
- Bio-absorptive materials
- Sutures
- Polymers



Antibody Applications
- Standard immunohistochemistry for
research applications.
- Test/validate commercially available antibodies
for use in immunohistochemistry.
- Test and validate new antibodies.
- Development work for antibody therapeutics.



Immunohistochemistry Expertise
- Background literature research and sourcing of optimal antibodies
- Antibody optimization
- Cross-reactivity studies
- Protocol development
- Routine IHC staining (manual and automated)
- Slide analysis: digital microscopy imaging, digital whole
slide scanning, staining quantification, Pathological scoring/analysis,
and report generation.



Imaging & Analysis
- Digital microscopy imaging.
- Digital whole slide scanning: high-resolution imaging
permits real-time zoom for regions of interest.
- Staining quantification: semi-automated IHC quantification permits
data acquisition of area scored, total positive pixels, average positive
pixels, total staining intensity, and average staining intensity, all of
which are separated amongst weakly and strongly stained.



Imaging & Analysis
- Pathological scoring/analysis: our Pathologists work with you to
determine an appropriate scoring criteria.
- Report generation: quantified data can be collated into a
presentation-ready report or PowerPoint presentation, while images
can be professionally edited for publication-ready submission.



Our Pathologists
- U.S. board certified Pathologists with 35 + years experience in
Veterinary Pathology and Toxicologic Pathology.
- Experienced in Pathology reporting for NDA filing.
- Pathological scoring/analysis: our Pathologists work with you to
determine an appropriate scoring criteria.
- Report generation: quantified data can be collated into a
presentation-ready report or PowerPoint presentation, while images
can be professionally edited for publication-ready submission.



In-House Tissue Bank
- Collection of tissues from multiple species including mouse, rat, pig,
rabbit, and monkey.
- Identify proteins of interest in multiple tissues on a single slide for a
truly macroscopic view of protein distribution, and a complete
antibody cross-reactivity profile.



In-House Tissue Bank: Applications
- Control Tissues
- Antibody Testing & Validation
- Antibody Optimization
- Protocol Development
- Testing for newly developed antibodies
- Generating IHC images for antibodies



Plant & Environment
- Histological analysis for environmental monitoring based on
animal/plant species health.
- Customized protocols for plant sectioning.
- Custom paraffin and frozen sections to preserve plant tissue
morphology and integrity at the highest level.
- Custom tailored special staining methods for plant tissue, including
Safranin Green, PAS, Toluidine Blue, and more.
