Glasgow Tissue Research Facility
The Glasgow Tissue Research Facility (GTRF) integrates expertise and infrastructure to provide a high-quality histology service for tissue-based research.
The histology service provided by the GTRF includes microtomy for the, production of FFPE sections and tissue scrolls (under DNA/RNAse-free conditions), Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, whole slide imaging, and tissue microarray (TMA) design and construction. Operating within a collaborative framework involving the University of Glasgow, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and the CRUK Scotland Centre, the GTRF is committed to rigorous scientific standards, underpinned by robust standard operating procedures and quality assurance processes. This ensures the reliability and integrity of downstream analysis by academic and industrial partners for translational research and biomarker discovery.
