Why do charges apply for histologic sections mounted on glass slides?
Tissue is made available to the scientific community free of charge. However, the NYBB neither sections nor stains tissue samples for investigations which require sections on histology glass slides. If you request samples which require processing by a histology laboratory, we will submit your request to an affiliated laboratory of Columbia University and ask you to cover the fees. For prices, which are subjected to change, refer to Question 4 below.
