Immunohistochemistry and In Situ Hybridization

Understand your tissue response with tailored protein and RNA detection: from simple staining to advanced multiplex IHC and ISH

Whether you're developing a biomarker strategy, validating antibody panels, or localizing transcript expression, we offer tailored staining solutions to answer your study questions. Our immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) services help you characterize tissue, identify relevant biomarkers, and understand expression patterns across healthy, diseased, and treated samples.

Explore how our expert team and state-of-the-art capabilities can integrate flexibly with your R&D processes to provide robust insight that accelerates your drug discovery and development.

By combining staining, pathology, and digital quantification under one roof, we generate the insights you need to accelerate your study, without the fragmentation, handoffs, or uncertainty of managing multiple vendors.

Our in-house expertise and integrated staining workflows offer:

  • Fit-for-purpose assay design for known or novel biomarkers
  • Expert guidance on marker selection, multiplex panels, and platform choice
  • GCP-compliant workflows for projects requiring clinical readiness
  • End-to-end support—from tissue preparation through to image analysis
