The institute is provided with a Histology Service with equipment for processing, cutting and staining biological samples.
The objectives of this service are:
Location:1st and 2nd Floor
Working hours:M-F: From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. *
(*) Those experiments that need time past the established hours could be made prior knowledge of the technician in charge.
The activities that can be performed in the laboratory are, among others:
Specific staining protocols could be developed on demand.
Es un baño de agua con una superficie que proporciona una alta conductividad térmica y excelente resistencia al rayado debido a su recubrimiento de platico especial.
Las temperaturas pueden ser seleccionadas entre la temperatura ambiente y 75º.
El borde amplio permite el conveniente almacenamiento de los portaobjetos.

Ensure efficient processing of samples, providing at the same time fast and safe cuts.
Equipment providing top quality cuts, due to a high precision microtome with sample progress through the motor controlled step by step.
It also includes powered cutting (optional).
To increase the security inside the machine, it has a UVC disinfection system to remove bacteria, viruses and fungus even at low temperatures.
Waste removal system and spacious cryochamber.

The fully automated rotary microtome Leica RM2255, designed for paraffin samples sectioning, offers a wide range of applications for histology research in laboratories. The RM2255 is designed for customers who want to integrate samples in paraffin or resin in clinical pathology and biomedical research. It is fully powered by a stepper motor, with a precision orientation system and a large powerful engine for cutting. The microtome can be operated manually too.
The cutting speed can be adjusted to cut hard materials and paraffin embedded samples with high performance without detriment to the sectioning quality.
Its features are: fully motorized rotary microtome with adjustable cutting speed and two speeds of movement, ergonomic design with an external control panel, selection of steps or continuous motion, safety lever with two locking mechanisms, integrated storage tray at the top of the microtome, internal mechanism protection system, specimen clamp system, one-handed operation way and integrated section waste tray.

La placa fría se mantiene a una temperatura constante de – 5ºC, proporcionando un rápido enfriamiento de los bloques.
La gran capacidad de la placa puede contener más de 70 moldes estándar de cassettes.
La placa fría se puede utilizar como una unidad independiente para enfriar los bloques antes de seccionar o como centro de incrustación para enfriar moldes después de la dispensión de parafina.

Modular design equipment with the following applications: Fixation, dehydration, and infiltration in paraffin of tissue samples.
The processing unit is comprised of three paraffin stations and the retort.
There are tree baskets for cassettes each with a capacity of 100 cassettes.
The processor is programmed via a color touch screen, LCP type.
The control software gives detailed information on all features of the display.
