In this section
There are two Immunohistochemistry laboratories that support the Diagnostic Cytopathology services. One is situated on the ground floor of the Clinical Sciences Building at Wythenshawe and the other is within the Adult Histology laboratory, Clinical Sciences Building first floor at Oxford Road.
We currently house automated Ventana BenchMark Ultra staining machines which we use to carry out our routine clinical work. We currently hold a repertoire of over 90 antibodies, listed on our Antibody Repertoire List and are enrolled in the UKNEQAS ICC quality assurance scheme.
Any clinician wishing to request specific immunohistochemistry antibody markers should discuss this with the reporting pathologist. It is not appropriate to contact the laboratory directly to request IHC.
