These services include: rat brain tissue processing various histological and immunohistological staining/labeling, and storage and preservation of spare tissues for later use. The contractor shall have experience needed to process brain tissue surrounding the zones of injury in the penumbra and salvage cells within the severely ischemic core zone.
