Our Aim
It is recognised that the identification of suitable archive tissue for use as controls in slide based assays can be difficult due to heterogeneous expression of biomarkers, fixation artefacts, rarity of their expression, or just general lack of availability.
The novel technology developed by HistoCyte Laboratories Ltd employs cell lines to avoid these issues and allows us to process the cell lines into tissue-like controls.
Our Services
HistoCyte Laboratories Ltd offer a variety of contract services, from custom cell line development through to biomarker assessment.
With sound science and creative minds we can deliver high-quality projects in a cost-effective and timely manner. By employing our network of experts we can provide you with the best solutions to your needs.
