Services and Procedures

It is the policy of our Department to retain all tissue blocks, so to satisfy investigators with indispensable material for research or clinical trial, we offer the following:

• Paraffin-embedded tissue block cores ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm
• Paraffin-embedded tissue block cores that are re-embedded into a labeled tissue block
• Paraffin-embedded recut slides at thickness requested
• Paraffin-embedded recut slides that are H&E stained

For each work request, a standard CTTS Work Request form must be completed by the requesting investigator. The completed form gives us your ordering and shipping information and charging instructions, as well as patient-requested tissue specifications. CTTS strives to complete all requests within a time sensitive manner.

Please email all Clinical Trial Tissue Service requests to CTTS@yale.edu or fax to (203) 737-8388.
