Splice Histology:
We provide timely, high-quality, individual histopathology services when you need them.

The Same Trust As Your Lab Down The "Hall"

Our Mission

Splice Histology provides individual histology services which consist of tissue processing, embedding, microtomy and H&E staining. We’ve built Splice to support all histology labs that might need help staying caught up. Many labs have been impacted by the severe staffing shortages with histology techs. Splice will promote the histology profession by providing a high quality training program with a goal to create more histology technologists and technicians.

Why Now?

1. Aging population, increased cancer rates, expanding screening, as well as advancements in research have created an enormous demand for histology services.

2. Histotechnologist staffing shortages are at all time highs.

3. Histotechnologist staffing is projected to reduce 30-50% in the next three to five years.

What We Do

Tissue Processing

Cassettes containing tissue are placed into a processor that dehydrates, clears, and infiltrates the tissue (process takes two to twelve hours based on specimen size).
Embedding

Applies paraffin wax to the tissue and creates a solidified block
Microtomy

Block is placed onto a microtome where thin layers of tissue are created and placed onto a glass slide.
Staining

All slides are stained with a purple/pink Hematoxylin & Eosin stain to show pathologist the general structure of the tissue
