The MHP-MHTP Histology Node officially opened last week in our new
(temporary) location on Level 3 of the MHRP (Rooms 3.23 & 3.24). For users
who were unable to attend our Introductory Seminar, we would like to let you
know of some important updates.
The new Histology site is available for both Professional Services
and DIY, with designated areas and equipment in each space.
DIY users can now use new ergonomic benches for added comfort and
safety when using the embeddor, 3 microtomy work stations, cryostat,
staining area and new Vibratome.
Our range of Professional services have also been expanded to
include access to Immunohistochemistry (chromogenic & fluorescence),
antigen retrieval, digital slide scanning (brightfield & fluorescence),
Tissue Micro Array production and resin & EM processing, sectioning and
staining.
All samples need to please be delivered directly to the MHTP
Histology Node on Level 3 of the MHRP with drop off sites in Hudson stores and
MMC B Block no longer operational.
To ensure safety, there is a need for users to please register
using ARIN and be briefly inducted to access BOTH the Professional Services
and/or DIY equipment. Please note that registration fees DO NOT currently apply
as they are fully subsidised by your respective Institutes. Professional and
DIY services may also be subsidised and will shortly be confirmed. For current
LIST prices refer to platforms.monash.edu/histology
Please refer to the flyer attached for further instructions regarding registration and access .
Training sessions can be booked with our staff if
required.
We understand that it is an extremely busy
time of year for researchers and for those that were unable to attend, our
Introductory Seminar we will be holding another session early April, date to be
advised later this month.
We look forward to supporting you with any
Histology requirements, either DIY or Professional and staff will be on site
full time to answer any questions, discuss projects or provide advice to
support your research. We hope you
will take the opportunity to meet our Histology node Supervisor here at MHP-MHTP
Histology - Angela Vais. Angela has very long and varied experience in
all aspects of histology spanning 16 years and will be available to provide
advice as requested on staining protocols etc.
Please feel free to contact Angela Vais or Camilla Cohen should you
have any further queries.
