View Our Research Services

We currently offer the following microscopy and molecular biology research services.

3D OCX Imaging

Cutting-edge imaging technology that combines Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM) to provide rapid, high-resolution imaging with increased depth resolution.

Bright Field

Also known as bright light microscopy; the simplest and most common light microscopy, usually using halogen or LED.

cDNA Synthesis

Used for gene expression analysis, studying disease mechanisms, developing therapies, single-cell RNA sequencing, and biomarker discoveries.

Cryostat Ocular Blocks and Tissue Slicing

Utilized in histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, molecular studies, surgical training, and diagnostic purposes.

Fluorescence

Utilizes specific dyes to label components of a sample, enabling the study of cellular structures and functions.

Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Blocks and Tissue Slicing

Employed for histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, biomarker discovery, and archival research.

Phase Contrast

A powerful optical technique that enhances the contrast of transparent and colorless specimens, making them visible without staining.

Protein Isolation & Quantification

Applied in genetic studies, proteomics, gene expression analysis, therapeutic development, biomarker discovery, and forensic applications.

Retinal Dissection

Disease mechanisms, drug testing, surgical training, genetic studies, robotic surgery development.

Retinal Explant Culture

Neuroprotection and regeneration, disease modeling, drug test, electrophysiological studies, genetic manipulation.

RNA Isolation

The process of separating RNA from biological samples, crucial for applications like gene expression studies, pathogen identification, stem cell research, therapeutic target identification, and single RNA sequencing.

Tissue Staining

Used for live, dead, and apoptotic cell imaging.
