Anatomic Pathology
We provide both clinical diagnostic and research pathology services. For clinical diagnostics, we can answer clinical questions such as what was the cause of unexpected clinical signs or death or whether potential infectious disease agents are present. For research purposes, we can document phenotypes in genetically-engineered laboratory animals, evaluate test articles for adverse effects, or generate semi-quantitative data (lesion scores) to compare outcomes between experimental groups.
Basic services include necropsy, tissue collection, and gross and histopathologic evaluation. Semi-quantitative data generation (lesion scoring) and photomicroscopy services are available (see research service tab). We specialize in laboratory rodents but have extensive experience with dog, cat, avian, reptile, fish, amphibian and small livestock pathology.
