Our newly refurbished Immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory is now fully operational. This is now one of the largest IHC laboratory in the country. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful laboratory technique which use antibodies to detect specific proteins (antigens) in tissue samples, helping diagnose diseases like cancer, infections, and neurological disorders, classify tumor types, guide treatment, and study disease progression by visualising where these proteins are located under a microscope.
The transformed space is brighter, more spacious, and has been warmly received by staff.
Dalian Beaver, General Manager, Cellular Pathology, says, “The feedback from staff has been nothing but positive. It’s really nice for them to be in such a big, bright, and modern space.”
The laboratory features advanced Leica Bond Prime equipment, making us one of the first in London to operate this technology. The Bond Primes produce high-quality, crisp, clear staining with a speedy turnaround time of about 90 minutes
Despite an 18-month journey to secure licences and navigate delays, the project has delivered a modern, high-quality workspace to support the team’s important work.
