Organoids
Rat Testicular Organoids
Recently a 3D culture has been developed that allows the reorganization of rat primary testicular cells into organoids with a functioning blood-testis barrier, as well as the establishment and maintenance of germ cells. This technique is successfully used by NCTR investigators. TPA provides support for histological evaluation as well as immunohistochemical identification of types of cells and structures in the organoids.

Solvent Recycling
TPA has a number of distillation units in use to recycling xylene, alcohol, methanol, formalin and acetone. This not only saves on the initial reagent purchases, but also saves time, waste disposal costs; also obviating the need to store large volumes of hazardous chemicals before use and disposal.
