Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory:
The Molecular Diagnostics lab offers many antibodies for immunoperoxidase procedures, as well as in situ hybridization procedures for human papilloma virus and Epstein-Barr virus. These studies are available for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues and are performed Monday through Friday. See requisition for list of antibodies offered.
Immunofluorescence procedures are available on fresh tissues, especially renal and skin biopsies. Specimens must be submitted in Zeus transport media and may be sent via courier, mail or FedEx/UPS.
Contact the lab at (336) 716-2756 for handling instructions or transport media. These studies are performed Monday through Friday.
PCR Laboratory:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based technology allows detection of DNA or RNA that may be specific for certain microorganisms, genes, or gene products. See the PCR page for instructions and a current list of available tests. |

Steroid Receptor Laboratory:
This lab offers estrogen and progesterone receptors, Her-2-neu and MIB-1 studies by immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry on primary and metastatic breast carcinomas. These studies require formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues and are performed Monday through Friday. Turnaround time is generally 1-2 days.
