Comparative Medicine’s Animal Histology Services (AHS) is closed.

VSC Necropsy and Comparative Pathology services are fully operational. Please see the information at this link.

We encourage all investigators to pursue alternate histology services.

Histo-Tec Laboratory is one of the regional histology providers that AHS has collaborated with previously.

NOTE:

• Individual laboratories and investigators will be responsible for establishing their own purchase orders (POs), billing, and pick-up/drop-off arrangements with external services.
  
  
• For necropsy projects submitted through the Veterinary Service Center (VSC) Necropsy Service, the VSC will manage the logistics of initial histology orders specific to those projects through Histo-Tec Laboratories. Subsequent orders (e.g., additional stains, additional sections, IHC, etc.) will need to be processed by the investigators.
  
  
  • Investigators wishing to use a service different from Histo-Tec will be responsible for processing all orders (including the initial histology for submissions through the Necropsy service).
