Enabling infrastructure includes Tissue Biobanking, antibody database and resource. We are keen to engage with you to help design experiments, troubleshoot, cost grants and provide training on our research robots or digital slide scanners. Please come and speak to us - it could save you time and money. To access our services and find out about pricing, please email our Service Manager Lyndsey Boswell at Lyndsey.Boswell@ed.ac.uk. Equipment We have a wide range of Slide Scanners and platforms primarily designed for histological and fluorescence imaging. To cover whole slide Brightfield, multi channel fluorescence, multi spectral unmixing and polarised light imaging. This article was published on 2024-07-08
