Custom autoimmune slides - now direct from Axis-Shield UK

A unique range of immunology slides is now available from Axis-Shield UK for use in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. These superior slides are produced by Immunotec using 4 μm tissue sections of the highest quality. A novel fixing method plus nitrogen flushing enhances longevity of the slides. An extensive repertoire of tissues is available, including rat and primates. Slides are custom-made and any combination of species and tissue can be specified.

There has been much debate over the best species to use for autoimmune profiles. Some histologists prefer rat kidney/liver/stomach while others opt for mouse. In addition to these, Immunotec offers the optimum combination of rat kidney/liver/mouse stomach which incorporates the best sections from each, providing easy to read results with greater clinical sensitivity and specificity.

Customers can order any tissue and specify exactly what they want - even down to which order tissues appear on the slides. This flexibility comes from Immunotec’s use of highly specialised and experienced tissue cutters.
