The Dean's CoRE Program needs your input!

To improve the operations of our core facilities, the Dean's CoRE Program is requesting your feedback as a past, current, or potential future user of its equipment and services. While providing your feedback, you have the option to stay anonymous or provide your name and email so that we can reach out to improve your experience with the core equipment, services, or staff. Thank you for your time and interest in providing your feedback. We appreciate it!

The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and will be open until Friday, April 11, 2025.

Thank you for your participation!

ATTENTION! If your fund number is missing from your lab, go to the "Membership Requests & Funds" tab, scroll down to the "Request access to additional funds" field, and enter the Cloud Number. If the Cloud Number doesn't appear, email Kishore.Madiraju@mountsinai.org and iLab@mssm.edu to request that the Cloud Number be imported to iLab. If your Cloud Number can't be imported, you'll be referred to SPF@mountsinai.org to get your Cloud Number renewed/extended.

If the Cloud Number is in the lab but you can't make a reservation or purchase, please check with the PI and/or Lab Finance Manager, as they can grant you access to a fund number in the lab. If you can access the Cloud Number but still can't reserve equipment, check with the Core and ensure that training isn't needed to make a reservation. If it's not a training requirement, please email ilab-support@agilent.com for technical support.

Note: iLab pulls Cloud (Fund) Number details from the COA Website (http://coa.mountsinai.org), and if the expiration date shows as expired, iLab purges it from the system.

Biorepository & Pathology Core

Overview of Services

The Biorepository and Pathology CORE provides basic histology services including the capability to process, embed and section fixed and frozen tissues (both animal and human) for Mount Sinai and the external academic and biopharmaceutical community. The facility is also able to generate tissue microarrays (TMAs) utilizing materials directly from the biorepository, animal model systems or in coordination with the clinical pathology service. The facility will prepare unstained slides suitable for a variety of applications such as histochemistry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), in situ hybridization (ISH), Laser capture microdissection (LMD), as well as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and other special stains for routine light microscopic evaluation. We also support DNA/RNA/miRNA extraction from fluids and tissue specimens (both fixed and frozen) and we have a digital scanning and image analysis service.

The Biorepository currently supports functions for tissue/body fluid procurement, storage and tracking from consented and de-identified collections. Pathologists responsible for procurement can be contacted for consultation to determine investigator requirements for human specimens in translational research, and then arrange procurement as feasible.
