Plastic processing we produce both thin and ground sections from hard tissues or implants using either the EXAKT system or microtomes equipped with tungsten carbide knives.

We embed in MMA, GMA or Spurr and will test your implant for compatibility with these media and processing reagents. Our customized approach optimizes specimen preparation and ensures that the integrity of your device is maintained.

Quality Assurance Unit Our Quality Assurance auditors perform a 100% data audit on every GLP study processed at HSRL.
