Core Facility Molecular Pathology & Biobanking

The CFMPB (founded in 2010) is established to ensure that human biospecimens are used properly and efficiently, especially in the case of scarce, valuable samples. The facility provides professional expertise and support regarding medical-ethical and legal issues.

The CFMPB registers, evaluates, coordinates, assists and facilitates all kind of research involving human biospecimens (e.g. serum, blood, ctDNA, FFPE and FF biopsies, DNA & RNA). All CFMPB activities are supported by our web application ‘the Application and Request Tool’ ART, an online tool for IRB registration & review and our LIMS & database.

Multiplex (triple) immuno histochemical staining

Multiplex (triple) immuno histochemical staining is performed on a Discovery Ultra stainer (Ventana Medical Systems)
using different colors of chromogenic substrates instead of fluorochromes.
One of the advantages of using chromogenic substrates is that the morphology of the tissues stays visible.
