Histotechnician Shayla Harris loads special stain slides onto the Dako Artisan automated stainer.
The lab uses a mixture of both automated special stainers and manual staining for our histochemical stains.


Histology technicians Linda DiCarlo, Crystal Lawless and Polly Meloy take a moment to pose for the
camera in our IHC lab, which has 14 Ventana Ultra and two Leica Bond automated stainers.
