The Experimental Pathology Research Laboratory at NYU Langone has the latest technology in histopathology, staining, imaging, immunochemistry, and analysis. Many of our instruments are available for researchers to rent by the hour at competitive prices.

In addition, we offer personal consultations and guidance in planning your experiments. Our staff is available from 9:00AM to 5:30PM, Monday through Friday, to answer your questions and help you get set up.

To reserve time on an instrument and schedule training with our staff, investigators must be registered in iLab. Training request forms are available in iLab.
