TPSR Sample Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures: Please click here for details
We strongly suggest that our users set up a consultation meeting if you are a first-time client or before harvesting/sampling for a new project. We will review and discuss the sample collection and preparation procedures/protocols to ensure the best outcome for your precious samples. This initial remote or in-person consultation is free of charge to our clients.
For routine requests submitted through iLab, such as fixed tissue samples for paraffin processing, embedding, sectioning, H&E staining, and Special Stain; paraffin blocks for sectioning and staining; paraffin slides for staining; whole slides scanning, etc., walk-in drop-off/pick-up are welcome during our work hours (Mon-Fri, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm).
For Training/Consultation Requests, Frozen Requests, and IHC/ISH Requests, please contact the Shared Resource (Tel: 215-503-3858/215-503-8826 or Email natalie.dougherty@jefferson.edu) to schedule an appointment.
When dropping off:
NEVER drop off samples without communicating with our staff. Un-notified materials might jeopardize the research request/project.
