The immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory uses antigen-antibody interactions with special staining techniques on fixed tissues to facilitate diagnosis of infectious diseases and further characterize neoplastic diseases. These tests may be performed on tissues submitted for histopathology as requested by the submitter or at the discretion of the board certified pathologist in charge of the case.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Sample Submission

Tissue samples should be submitted in 10% neutral buffered formalin in non-breakable plastic containers. If you are uncertain about which samples to submit, please contact the Diagnostic Laboratory at (785)532-5650.
