PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This project involves the purchase of a Leica HistoCore BIOCUT manual rotary microtome and a Leica HI1210 water bath for paraffin sections. Our laboratory currently has two sets of comparable histology equipment that allow two histotechnicians to cut paraffin-embedded tissue sections simultaneously; however, these workstations are currently operating at maximum capacity and are unable to accommodate our growing histology caseload, let alone the need for high-volume surge capacity in the event of a disease outbreak or large case investigation. This histology equipment purchase would allow us to establish a third workstation for an additional histotechnician to increase our case throughput and minimize turnaround time for important and time-sensitive pathology case investigations. Our laboratory currently serves as a Vet-LIRN network laboratory to diagnose, characterize, and report emerging and endemic veterinary diseases, including zoonoses. This histology equipment purchase would further strengthen our laboratory’s capacity to investigate animal disease outbreaks to promote both human and animal health.

项目总结/摘要 该项目包括购买Leica HistoCore BIOCUT手动旋转切片机和Leica HI 1210水浴石蜡切片。我们的实验室目前有两套可比较的组织学 允许两名组织技术人员同时切割石蜡包埋组织切片的设备; 然而，这些工作站目前正以最大容量运行， 适应我们不断增长的组织学病例量，更不用说需要大量激增的能力， 疾病暴发或大型病例调查的事件。购买组织学设备将使 我们建立了第三个工作站，为额外的组织技术人员，以增加我们的案件吞吐量， 最大限度地减少重要和时间敏感的病理学病例调查的周转时间。我们 实验室目前作为Vet-LIRN网络实验室，诊断、表征和报告 新出现的和地方性的兽医疾病，包括人畜共患病。购买组织学设备 将进一步加强我们的实验室调查动物疾病爆发的能力， 人类和动物的健康。
